Hello. I am SulliJM1, this is my first forum post. To get this out of the way; I made an account just so I can post this.
So I found a website recently,
https://topminersellers.comAt first it looks pretty legit, until you go to the top of the page and try to look at their other "Top X". Once you mess with the address bar to make it work right, you can pull up, for example, "Top Bitcoin Credit Cards" (When you click, address bar displays "
https://topminersellers.com/###https://topminersellers.com/top-cards", just erase the junk). If you do that, you will find a VERY broken version of the website.
NOTE: I intended to upload pictures; I will do so later if able, but at the moment I am unable.
Anyways, the site is already sketchy due to their listings, in this order:
#1 Bitmain.com
#2 Bitmainware.com
#3 ProBitMiners.com
#4 Amazon.com
#5 Ebay.com
It's plain to see on the site, they seem to encourage #2 and #3, because it displays that miners are in-stock and for a medium price range.
If you navigate to the 2 websites, you will find the following:
1.) Decently built websites, at least, to my rudimentary eyes.
2.) Decent prices. Higher than Bitmain direct, but much lower than Amazon or Ebay.
3.) S9s, L3+s, R4s, and D3s in stock, but not AWP3++'s, or in the case of #3, R1s. (TL;DR, only the expensive stuff is available).
4.) In the case of #3, they offer a cloud mining service via Genesis Mining, and have 2 "testimonials" on their front page.
HERE'S THE BEST (SKETCHIEST) PART!
I did some WhoIs digging on all three sites. I found very similar results for all three websites. I could of course be reading it all wrong, but it all looks the same to me, with slightly different dates.

I will copy and paste the conversation (for your entertainment value), and upload a screenshot in the future if I ever get that part figured out.

Hello. I am exploring your site, and have done some digging in on it. The website is very well built, however; there are a few things skeptical. I am interested in buying product, however I'd like to ask a few questions first, if you do not mind.

You — Please update your info
Ok. If you are only customer service, then I will seize questions for now. Thank you for your time.

Welcom
How in the HELL do you work for a site for "6 mounths"
if the site itself is 4 days old?!
Anyways, the whole point of me creating this thread is because after Googleing these two sites, I found next to nothing, so I thought I'd try to be the first to bring it up. Any feedback would be much appreciated!
To the admin: If I put this in the wrong spot, you have my apologies.
