Thank you for contributing to this thread percy_tc
We are not sure yet whether it is a scam but it is certainly not an authorized or official distributor of Bitmain.

A loyal customer from South Africa reported this ( http://bitmaintech.co.za/ ) website and was concerned that it illegitimately uses Bitmain / Antminer 's trademark. We thank that customer for reporting it to us.
As much as we would like our fans to use, buy or re-sell Bitmain equipment in their respective communities or regions, we do not endorse or authorize any re-sellers or distributors yet.
We repeat that, unless notified by us otherwise, the only official medium of buying Bitmain products continues to be www.bitmaintech.com or www.bitmain.com

I have the same feeling here, even though I bought from the official website. My order 0012016053100226 is still marked grey and expired. image I send PDF with payment to Sherry Paid with USD 02.06.2016 I received a message that i paid too few USD BTC payment for this order 0.0545 BTC https://blockchain.info/tx/a799d5005a8791831502c2b1201879e9f317c7b1d5050ad307f8cb235f5c3c95
Other my orders are sent, it is not. Please fix it!And I can not login to support page with my password and imeil. The same imeil and password works with all bitmain sites Bitmaintech.com, Antpool and Hashnest. And support only recommends changing my password. EDIT.

We do re-sell Bitmain equipment in South Africa. And yes we do have acquired permission to do so. Please look at http://bitmaintech.co.za/about-us/.

That makes it sound like you are official with use use of the mentioned "uses Bitmain / Antminer 's trademark" . As a re-seller you would not be an official channel to get hardware from which your website really makes it appear like. Just look at bar at top "Antminer" links to you, then antpool and hashnest link to official sites. You have to see how that could be seen as trying to look official when in fact just a reseller with no permission. Not to mention markup - Antminer S9 12.93 Ths with 2 fans – With Power Supply R79,991.98 inc Vat. If my rough estimation that is 5260.95 USD for a item that was 1985 USD for https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=000201606080945140191yC0JO150614 . Even with shipping and vat that seems like a HECK of a markup. |

This is not quite true. I sent a letter Jun 7, I got the answer from Sherry, Jun 8 and I paid 0.0545 BTC 2016-06-08 21:29:32 and sent a new letter with payment. Someone forgot to mark it for expired, unpaid - to paid. If I would have sent a new letter , he would probably have remained so (unpaid) Today it is with a small delay shipped and i receive all 11 x ordered S9 Thursday, June 16, 2016 By End of Day |

Its good to see bitmain has eyes on these situations.
Btw, you can contact facebook to take the facebook fan page or their page down - since you are the rightful owner. I would do that if you havent, facebook take things down pretty quickly so less potential victims can be scammed.
As for skype, I dont know theres much you can do since its only a user id.

Registrar IANA ID: 48 Reseller: NAMECHEAP.COM I've reported it to them. Would carry more weight if you do too. Namecheap takes these kindda issues seriously. |

It's ironic that Bitmain moan about other people using their name or "trademark" for menetary gain when Bitmain themselves have no problem with breaking Software Licensing Terms by stealing other peoples mining software, renaming it & using it for their own monetary gain...... All theft is wrong no matter who does it, Bitmain. |
