There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Just call them and ask. Easier than asking random people on internet.

"Tina" has contacted me as well with a slightly different email address ("seller" instead of "sell") but otherwise the same message. "She" is now offering to help correct an order I have with Bitmain that has gone bad, but the gmail account is very questionable.
OP, how did this work out for you?

These miners are expensive hardware. I recommend taking all possible precautionary measures when paying for orders. Always communicate via the company's official channels. Contacting them directly on their website ensures you are dealing with them directly.
If you are contacted out of the blue by someone with a non-bitmain email address, then verify first with the company if that person is genuinely affiliated with them. These miners are extremely costly so one fatal mistake means you lose thousands of dollars and the scammer effortlessly gains a cash windfall.

Yes I agree with everything you've said, thanks. I have opened a support request thread on this matter on their site and told 'Tina' that before I will take any financial action I need her to verify her status as a Bitmain representative. |

Yes I tried that and Bitmain took my money, has not confirmed my order as paid (even though it's been about two months now) but did send me proof they received the money. Basically they confirmed they robbed me. So now I don't know what to think. |

Well 'Tina' might be legit, she seems to know things about my order, and has confirmed than any new or modified orders she helps me with will only be handled through the Bitmain website, not directly to her wallet etc.
So that's good enough for me.
Looks like I might be getting my hands on some new ultra-ridiculous S9 they're releasing soon because they don't have any more S9's to sell me from the batch I ordered originally. W00t.

THEY ARE ALWAYS A SCAM. Beware. Don't click the links they provide, there's ways to disguise / obscure links so they look like you're going to Bitmain's site, but you're not. They might be trying to get you to visit a site that has some sort of virus or keylogger so they can manipulate your BTC transactions or spy on you. Nothing good can come of interacting with them. Frankly, I have a very, very low opinion of Bitmain so I think they're a scam too. |
