That can be true, but here in Europe, Bulgaria doesn't have a good name.

If I had an association with Technobit, then I wouldn't let my clients pay to them. The clients pay me and I pay Technobit.
Also the account name:Advanced Mining Technologies  --- in Bulgaria --

For me it's a reasson not to pay in advance. They can send the item paid on delivery.

Got no opinion on Bulgaria, but Martin has been a stand up guy on the Technobit side as near as I can tell.

It is a bit disturbing. I would have thought they would have a bank in PA, though having just moved from that hellpit, I can say that their banking system is ridiculous even by comparison to other places in the US.

I dunno what to think. Sometimes they seem like a real endeavor, and sometimes like rank amateurs. I don't really smell a scam, but I'm not smellin' roses either. I hope they're real. It would be nice to have a US based manufacturer/assembler where I could pick up in person. It's a cheap flight to philly from Boise, and in a couple of months I should be in a position to do something like that.

Will continue watching.

I have friends in Sofia who can likely check out any location in the city (if it exists, would be odd to have bank there and no physical presence).

My patience is almost gone.

Now that is just bizarre. And as expected, there is absolutely no explanation. Like it's perfectly normal for folks in the heartland to send money to Bulgaria for a miner in PA.  What's to question ?

[greenlion]

The defensiveness and unskillful psychological manipulation in the posts I'm seeing in this thread suggests to me realistically that this is either a straight-up scam, or there is very little chance this is really going to happen in a realistic timeframe.

The contention that sales don't happen to people familiar with this forum is specious, and the tone of the "official" posts here is arrogant is disrespectful.

What I'm basically seeing sold here is "we don't need you we have real customers who are not scrubs, but please send us money so we can sell to you". This is a classic grift.

After the kinds of performance we've seen from some other ASIC manufacturers over the course of 2013, the burden is not on the posters on this forum to just believe somebody, the onus is on the seller to demonstrate a willingness to demonstrate his credibility. If the very first thing a seller does in the face of skepticism is get defensive like I'm seeing in this post, then frankly it's unreasonable to have the expectation of trust.

Ok, I got my invoice from AMT with bank transfer information. The bank is NOT in Bulgaria unless US Bank has branches in Eastern Europe. I now question some people in this thread. I'll be more than happy to expound on this if any want more "proof".

clenell BIIIIIG THANKS FOR POSTING!!! I know I can trust you. I literally was just about to buy a plane ticket to Philly.

Clenell at some point I want to have you guys over for dinner. Heck I may have a bitcoin meet up at my spot. We'll see.

AMT - FedEx is out for delivery, please have someone at your office to accept delivery.

@ clennel

Do you want me to post the invoice here on this tread as "proof"

[clenell]

i got an email from AMT with their standard invoice/logo format requesting a bank transfer - the bank is US Bank. if you could show me something similar from a bank in Bulgaria that would be interesting to say the least.

Then again... where are you located mdtspain?

[mdtspain]

Ok... will do that, one minute, I have to open an find out how to post an image

[mdtspain]

Located in Spain

[clenell]

yeah, thats the same invoice i got. i am in north carolina, USA. I dont know maybe they use different banks for overseas transfers.

[mdtspain]

Maybe...and I hope so, because I would realy like to have that miner.

But for now I don't have a good feeling about this. I hope I am wrong

[clenell]

well, i'm walking over to the bank at lunch today to make this payment. crossing my fingers.

[MrTeal]

They want you to send same day wires, and if your bank charges you a fee they'll just take you at your word and let you deduct it from the total?

[clenell]

i guess so.

[dave111223]

Crossed fingers = you trip over and never make it to the bank.

US Company receiving payments in Bulgarian bank account...are you f***ing kiddin me?

"If there are any fees just cut them from the payments, that's fine...infact if even if you only send us like $100 that's fine, just make sure you send it right away"
