New York-based PH Miners Inc., manufacturers of cryptocurrency mining machines, has announced the launch of two new miners for the bitcoin and litecoin cryptocurrencies, which will allow users to process transactions and track the release of new digital coins.
PHminers is comprised of specialists with many years’ experience in bitcoin hardware as well as litecoin hardware and has developed the Bitcoin Miner 25TH/s, which retails at $3,000 and comes with all the necessary equipment, from casing to control unit and cabling, to set up.
The company’s Litecoin Miner 1000MH/s also costs $3,000 and can also mine other cryptocurrencies. These digital-currency miners are guaranteed to deliver long-life service, with the company, which only accepts payment in bitcoin, providing an extended warranty of 15 years to cover any kind of failure.
Both miners have been fully tested at multiple stages following manufacture to make sure they perform to the expected standards, and free shipping is offered to anywhere in the world, via FedEx or UPS courier services.
Eric Franklin said, the CEO of pH Miners, stated: “We believe that our products will have a high impact on the market, and we’re pleased to now make our first two miners available to customers around the world who want to get into the exciting area of cybercurrencies,”
Let's name the people on the picture, shall we: http://www.phminers.com/aboutus.php![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.phminers.com%2Fimages%2Fphminers.jpg&t=665&c=RXukx2P8hCc1Vw) Might be useful later on in courts. BTW, where are the pictures of the board. The case renderings are fine, where is the chip and the board? This image is a fake. Try google image find. If my memory is good, a very well know media is selling it.

It did not find it out there - https://www.tineye.com/search/e06a5c492551b7f95ff9a3db1e920b52b995dfcd/Not saying it is real, they could have done something to mask it. But not easy to find this pic out there. But still fake product.

Then the question becomes: Did PH miners actually buy rights to use the image or just copy it off the Getty site? Betcha Getty would like to be aware of it's possible/probable unauthorized usage by them...

Betcha Getty would like to be aware of it's possible/probable unauthorized usage by them... It is a scam company no doubt they copied it. There were some selling getty accounts in digital, but luckily they got rid of hacked/cracked in digital (for most part). But no way they paid proper. And nice job searching it out.

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

its a PR site, you can add your own story/news/PR to that site to give more media out in the world. hence "Source: Ph Miners Inc." but yes, it does smell like the same *Miner scammers..

I'm not going to lie, I fell for this scam. Whatever info you want to confirm this is in fact a scam I'll provide it. but yes I put a cone on my head and throw me in the corner.
How does anyone expect the world to adopt cryptocurrency and a secure form of transaction when people like this exist in the world. If the idea is to decentralize banking, with crooks like these it's not going to happen. I REALIZE I AM THE IDIOT, I should have paid more attention. But I also believe the press/publication that allows these people to post/submit these press release's should do some kind of research into these people before publishing they're story. I'm not gripping, I'm not complaining, I realize I Got Gotted. It's a lesson learned but, luckily it's not a Nigerian prince with my social security number.

hopefully only the 3k right? you lost on one unit? (btc or scrypt) anyway ...hopefully you did not get more then one. don't sweat it I'm the reason that litecointalk.org is not 'poof' for hopefully a 'bit' www.litecointalk.orgthat is now down....bought a supposed titan cube (110 ltc) from one of the 4 administrators on the site (the 4 top levels only of account super powers) and was told by another admin that Carnth Admin account was hacked...bye bye LTC ...so it is getting damn hard to buy stuff it seems (have many deals go great) but still really you have 4 top administrator accounts and you can't tell one is hacked for at least 2 weeks if not more? so..now the www.litecointalk.org is still 'kaput' and it has been down for 3 or more days so that means one of 2 possibles imho ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) 1) They are trying to fix the site due to this 'god level' administrator account (one of four) was hacked and digging deep on such. or 2) the hacker ..when found out .....with the super powers of that account 'flushed the site' (see point 1 above) yeah ..they are rebuilding the works from backups one or the other well hell live and learn bound to happen to me someday. But I mean 'really' that is like buying something from the equiv account on bitcointalk here of Theymos and finding out the account was hacked...(welcome to my world) anyway I feel your pain.....so it goes....gonna really really have to watch this better from now on it seems if such 'shenanigans' are now the norm

Oof I feel for you. Sometimes doing your research here can help before falling for a scam. Other times it's not so simple. As @Searing mentions I hope it was only for a single unit.

Very sorry to hear you sent money to these people, I was disappointed to read this has shaken your faith in crypto-currencies and encourage you to push forward. NO economy, currency, or person is immune to con-artists as the weakest link in these transactions is always human beings. I have spent the last few months doing my research into BitCoin and CC's in general and my faith in the system is stronger than ever largely due to the community I see, people who will tirelessly and with great enjoyment RUN THESE SCAMMERS INTO THE GROUND. Sadly not every potential victim can be warned, and I sincerely hope your loss was a minor one. Best of luck in your future endeavours.

well, i made sure that their website was shut down , they used a fraudulent sales tax id number contacted the domain provider who in turn shut them down, phones are no longer active.
at least they will not be scamming anyone else for a bit until they resurface as some other company.
what amazes me is that all of these so call free lance reporters that published this garbage did not take the time to due their due diligence on this company, and risk their reputation !

Looking at website I'm not sure that it is shutdown. They have a message saying "This site has exceeded the allotted bandwidth.". So someone could have been mad... and attacked and used up bandwidth. Normally if taken down they would say taken down to to TOS I think. So you might see this pop up again once they are on next period of bandwidth. But hopefully no one buys... they should read forums before purchases.
