Old thread is old...or ancient, even...last post almost has its anniversary! But just to touch on this one as I'm working my through the list:
Plus their chip is a photo of the KnC 28nm with the logo photoshopped from it.
It's actually based on this image or a predecessor*:
http://javier.esilicon.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/HFCBGA.jpgFrom this page:
http://javier.esilicon.com/page/3/( Took me a bit to find that, reverse image search yielded nothing; 'bga chip bottom' with an additional yellow color filter was what popped it up right in the first screen of results. )
* What's funny is that
that image has rather obvious signs of photoshoppery, and I can't decide if the failed scammers decided to smudge that out to make it less obvious (but thus introducing a different obviousness), or whether both worked from a different image that had a logo and both had to get rid of that somehow. I'm leaning toward the former.
DBG: Did that someone ever receive anything (like
a bicycle light, perhaps), or report the scam officially?
