Since this is based on a rip-off of the SF100 and the SFARADS thread is still active may I present https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985400.msg10735871#msg10735871 Dated Feb. 11, 2015

Would be funny to see how Foxminers explains that....
At least some SF100's were actually built and seems at least 2-3 are still around.

As for
Quote
As obviously they could have damaged reputation of the Sack Rosendin by claiming he's representing them.  Isn't that also unlawful ( i mean to falsely claim someone is representing them )?
I would think that as part of due-diligence that the law firm would follow up on this by issuing a real C&D  -- against Foxminers LLC Wink

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I just can't believe that these scams keep happening over and over again, and there feels to be hard time for some people believing that this is a scam.

I'm just so tired with newbie, no background checking -people losing money and shitty scammers getting away with the scam all over again and again and again...

<snip>  
So, I suppose I can understand why you guys are being so ... whatever offends you least to this new guy as I have seen my share of presale scams and vanishing funds from startups in other industries too. <snip>
So glad you saw the light Smiley
Ja, there is little tolerance here for folks who may even unwittingly defend or help scams. Just be glad the *real* scam buster folks here did not pick up on this! They tend to foam at the mouth a lot, go offensively nuclear and really rip into folks. At least we were fairly civil about it. Blunt, sarcastic, and definitely giving no ground, but civil.

Thanks for the reply.  I'm over it.  I was incapable of researching the background fully here so I should have just watched.  I used to spend a lot of time at a forum where the side game was getting noobs to rage quit.  Hilarious place, but proper ladies didn't much care for it to say the least.

If it helps any, I just Googled "Foxminers LLC" and this thread comes up as #2 on the hit list. Hopefully that will cut into how many folks get taken by these folks.  Smiley

edit: I just sent our favorite rabid scamhound Gleb Gamow a pm about these folks. Would be great to see what he digs up on them and their PR blitz. They have several new PR release in the past 24hrs...
Oh, and delicopsch56 I did let Gleb know you that you caught on so no friendly fire happens if this catches his fancy. Love that comparison tool Wink

Foxminers is a scam! I will remove this post once my standard 35 BTC is paid in full. Sorry, no escrow. Foxminers, please PM me if you desire my bitcoin wallet address so to timely remit the requested 35 BTC, else prepare to endure The Gleb.  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Oh good grief -- they are pitching even bigger systems per this page on the Wayback dated yesterday the 23rd https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20170423212932/https://foxminers.com/products/

Bitcoin(375 TH/s) & Litecoin(10.5 GH/s)
$22500.00 $19000.00

Wonder who's miners are in that no doubt stolen picture they used?
For reference, using a nice round 13THs each it takes 28.8 s9's to = 375THs.


Edit: ROFL Cheesy gotta love their FAQ #4 aslo on Wayback https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20170423212944/https://foxminers.com/faq/  Actually, looks like the whole site might be archived. Nice for future reference eh?
   04. Do you accept PayPal or Credit Cards?

   Unfortunatly we don’t accept PayPal or Credit Cards, due to frequently occurring fraud practices.

Um, ya. Theirs. Bet they got a few giggle writing that one... Emphasis is mine of course.
Made sure entire site is archived at Wayback for posterity Kiss

They don't even bother to generate unique payment addresses for orders like any legitimate business would do, they just randomly select an address to show the user from a preloaded list in javascript. They wouldn't even be able to see who paid for an order since it's all done client side in javascript.

Look at what somebody just sent me:

Quote
Please pay to the fallowing address within 5 hours : 14D5P69iXdKJeav4icao6Sw2FioqLq9avC

Amount : 23.01 BTC ( 30.000 USD )

We need the products you wish to buy and please complete the form so we can have your address for delivery .

Or replay to this email with Full name, Full Address,Phone Numer, so we know where to send the products and to build the invoice after payment .

Regards,

Jonathan F.
Operator at Sales Department
+1 408-877-8345
+1 408-877-8362
FoxMiners LLC.

In California it's a common practice for the locals to express $30,000 as 30.000 USD.  Roll Eyes My guess is that Jonathan partook too much of his medical marijuana when he penned the reply, hence littered with grammatical errors.

Nope I didn't. I went to the address that is registered to the LLC. The address in their footer is most likely a dummy address of some empty offices.

EDIT: Also, Gleb you know that Johnathan F. is a made up name. The guy already pretended to be a lawyer and a marketer. Ya think hes gonna sign with his real name?

Yea... looks like horse shit to me too  Tongue

Just did a quick icann whois search and even though all info on their website = USA, the domain is registered to a PO BOX in Queensland, Australia...

Sniff sniff.... ewwwwwwww

1. Pre-orders are 99% scams until proven otherwise.

2. PO Box is a dead giveaway. When crap hits the fan, your lawyers will send their letters of demand to a PO Box?

Wait, what! Jonathan F. is not his real name? So when I Google "Jonathan F." and found a dude by the same name using Kraken, that's probably not the case?  Roll Eyes

Seriously, I knew that wasn't his real name from the get-go. It was by conducting blockchain forensic as to how I discovered that Kraken was used to process payments already made to Foxminers by Investards.  Kiss

Excellent review and investigation
Can you say something similar about the company UFOMINERS?
from Las Vegas? Are they scam or not? Since he contacted them and paid 20 BTC for the equipment. Track code dosih has not yet been received on the parcel, and the company itself once a week reports that it will be soon and the parcel will be at the customs in my country, and so it's almost a month instead of the promised 5 days.
There is a feeling that FOXMINERS is the reincarnation of the previous UFOMINERS because the subject matter of the sites is very similar.  It remains to only verify the number of purses for payment in the blockchain BTC.
Thank you for attention.
 Cool

UFOMINERS was a scam from day one.
