confirmed scam. sent them 1 bitcoin for the 10 usb block erupters and nothing. to start with things were good had a response straight away thanks for your order kind regards, all good im thinking. Then I had another question for them so I asked and got a reply the following day, your package had been picked up and was on its way, this is getting even better im thinking what a service so I then asked another question, what delivery service do you use and do you have a tracking number if possible? NO RESPONCE Huh and still no response after 5 or 6 more emails. so I thought I will be a little bit annoying and send them loads of emails just so I don't get missed in the inbox I sent around 80 of the same email and then bamm my inbox is going crazy with spam from every corner of the globe it would seem. so this also proves what I have read in other topics about this now is that there name was not bought out buy some spamming company it is them.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Sorry for your loss.

The next time, watch out for red flags like these:

1. Their "ASIC miner" has headphone and microphone jacks.

   


2. Their numbers make no sense. At 9.2 GH/s, CGMiner should produce 128.5 shares per minute, not 1.92.

Sounds like you need a better email provider.

If you know a little Linux, get a cheap VPS and manage your own email server. I do, and I block more than 99 % of all spam emails.

Does no one want to come and admit that they did not receive all these items they are saying they were waiting for?

If you got scammed by these guys. Be clear and say "I paid and never received my item. They did not give a reason, they took the money and stopped communicating"

This is the way we will be able to KNOW not to order these products.

Naively got scammed too, unfortunately far to eagerly trying to spend my first bitcoin profit!

They've annoyed me somewhat though, so deciding to pursue this. Can anyone who has sent them coins without receiving anything from them (and obv are happy to allow me to) send me copies of their bitcoin transactions and transcripts of contact between themselves and asic-technologies?

Chased down their domain owner;

Davie, Scott  more.coffeeee@gmail.com
    2/5 Moray Park Terrace
    Edinburgh, Midlothian EH7 5TH
    GB
    +44.7934839575

Doubtful whether that's either a real name or address, but their hosting and domain was purchased through fasthosts.com. If I can collect a decent enough amount of info proving they've taken a decent amount of money, pretty sure they'll confirm whether or not that matches the billing address.

Planning to send both proof of purchase, along with the emails (as proof of site owner accepting order and bitcoin) and send them on to trading standards, the web host (who in the least will shut them down), plus the local police for edinburgh. If they're really there, sure a visit from the local bobbies may change their minds about refunds and continuing this scam!

If you google the Toronto address you see other businesses that listed as scams that are attributed to that address...
Also, it seems that tucows is somehow affiliated with that address. http://www.tucows.com

I dunno, I live close to this area - I could technically go see whats up at this address... always makes me nervous to confront anyone about this sort of stuff. But i'd bet if it is tucows who is being "used" here, they would really want to know and would want to protect themselves.
