This is 100% a scam, not even a good one. They stole their website and product photos directly from BFL, and have already had their walletbit account shut down.

100 GH/s ready to ship for 30 btc.... it's so obvious scam.

Today you can get ฿46 per week with that.

Fraud is illegal.

I don't think there is need to involve the authorities. This only affects the bitcoin community, our responsibility is to alert other in the community. Problem solved without potentially giving bitcoin bad press.

Criminals are criminals regardless of the area they operate in. This will be the same guy trying to scam old ladies because their 'windows is broken'.

Bitcoin got more press today due to the huge "correction" the exchange rate took because somebody gave away millions of $$ worth of bitcoins that people then dumped into the exchanges to cash out.

The world won't care if some conman goes to jail, bitcoin will get more famous because there are more and more cons out there.

If these/this guy gets nabbed and we find out about it, hopefully it will make others think twice about going for us. Currently they make a website, put a post on bitcoin talk, they get busted, but a few are still stupid enough to give over a few thousand $$s, and the cons are happy. They don't care if their new account name gets a bad reputation and people look up all their fake details and spam them with PMs.

But if bitcoin scammers start going to jail.....

Can we close this thread and start a forum thread of confirmed ASIC scams?  It's getting difficult to keep track of them all without one central list.  (cue the conspiracy theorists)

It's pretty easy to keep track of the legit ASIC options.

There is only one legit company as of right now and that is Avalon.

All others are scams or vaporware.

You saying ASICMiner is a scam?

No, I'm talking about ownership of your own hardware... sure, you can buy shares of ASICminer or ASIC group buys as well  ....
