I ran across this company in my inbox. Don't know how I got it or where they got my email from. Pulled it up and they offer escrow. 30BTC for a ~9.5 GH/s rig is pretty hefty though.

It is odd how they only got 32 shares in 10 minutes with a 9.3 GH/s rig. Also, i didn't notice the at 0 photoshopping. Good find! Another "ASIC Comapny" scam to go down in the books.

hahahah, My mum could of done a better job with MS paint.

32 shares in 10minutes could be believable only if they changed(photoshopped) the diff from 1 to say 128++

To verify to the public that it's a scam and to stay away.

This one has been around for a while,

ASIC-Technologies - asic-technologies.com

So far untruthful out of the gate. Product image is blatantly a DSL modem motherboard of some kind



(image has since been taken down)

On their front page briefly:

Quote
Firstly allow me to say a big thanks to bitcointalk forum . . branding our company a scam after the site was only online 12 hours with no sales . I just spend 9 months busting my balls , pushing every penny I had into this project , for some wee N00b to come along and start talking complete and utter rubbish based on no evidence at all . We done no advertising really because Chris my partner is on holiday at the moment , The site is not even complete . . . just a template I put up before taking a well needed sleep . If you think this site is a scam , I don’t even care . Leave now .WE DONT EVEN HAVE PICTURES UP YET . . . This is a 4 man project . Relax , give us some time .We currently have 21 small’s and 5 large units . Working on more . Thank you to the users who had faith and paid via paypal.Shipping will be tomorrow,I will also remove this rant when I am less angry . You wanna know how to build ASIC . . . Dont sit around chatting crap on bitcointalk , Learn Something New !!


And if you ELA their images they appear to be manipulated.

Wow... If the guy running that business gets hostile about scam accusations while the evidence is surely there, it usually means the evidence was true, and he's mad about his cover being blown...

I tried to pay them twice with PayPal and both times payment went through and they complained that there was some issue though with PayPal, when they actually used some demo paypal accounts, I believe for starters.

They kept blaming having issues with PayPal.

Second time after they cashed the money through PayPal, put a tracking number "00000000" and nothing came. I called them and they assured me there was an issue with PayPal and a refund is being processed. PayPal put the refund on pending for 7 days, to discover there were not enough funds in their account to cover. PayPal refunded me again.

(Thanks PayPal!!!)

Ever since they only accept BTC payment or bank transfer....

They even offered me discounted price, instead of $3000 to pay 7 BTC. I said through escrow service. They said at least 2BTC (for shipping) and 5 through escrow. I paid them nothing when I saw refund was not covered.... otherwise they were happy even with 2btc for a few days of communication with me...

Btw, their private phone# was +447934839575, email: more.coffeeee@gmail.com.

It has to be a scam 100%!!

Cheers

See this is precisely why we need secured payment methods for pre-orders. This has always been an obvious scam, but the uninitiated need protection from themselves...

Hot damn, even I almost fell for it :blush:
A friend wanted to buy some USB mining sticks for the heck of it, and that site was pretty much the first result on google. I wouldnt have fallen for fake presales of custom asics, but as a reseller of asicminer or bitfury usb sticks (the page I ended up on),  its not that difficult to get fooled - at least until you see they expect to send bitcons to a static address.

The scam is also working. They use 2 different addresses for all their "orders":

https://blockchain.info/address/1ibY2cWoEYFVM2bRXaNVm2brBD1uvrjUg
118.4 BTC

https://blockchain.info/address/1GW68rAn3h5nvwJeM4PNG4GHK2n277cpqa
64.5 BTC


Total of 182 BTC so far. Not bad for a scamsite that takes an hour to put together.
