Scam alert technobit.eu

[ubauba]

Sorry for the first post in the wrong area I hope it can be moved to the correct one.

As per title please do not trust this company.

Orders are received and processed however tracking codes for the shipments are fake.

Ofcourse Marto74 can prove me wrong and start replying to the emails and updates requests sent.

Until than I consider it a scam!

Thanks for the heads up

Hi

I've read elsewhere that people are having problems with DPD tracking numbers. I've had similar problems in the past with dpd.

Try going to the DPD site of the country they are sending from and enter your tracking number.

Also try cookietrail, they can track most parcels.


I have nothing to do with Technobit and am trying to place an order with them - but I think it might be a bit premature calling them scammers just because the tracking number doesn't work.

Though DPD have never lost a parcel sent to me, they wouldn't be my first choice of courier.

A third option is phoning DPD in your country and see if they can find the parcel, works on occasion.

[ubauba]

Well I trid contacting technobit several and I mean several times with no replies.

Used the tracking code provided which comes up as cancelled.

Contacted DPD which has no record of the parcel.

Contacted Speedy which is the Bulgarian courier that passes on to DPD and they say the parcel was cancelled.

Tried again technobit but no answer.

Meanwhile Marto is active on this forum convincing people he is legit...

[otsaku]

ok that sheds new light on things. Maybe I won't be ordering there after all...

[Dux2K]

Thanks for alerting us. We really need to avoid those scammers.

[ubauba]

The main worry is that while we are gettng no replies to the many emails and messages he is still seen as a respected member on this forum and was able to keep posting.

No time for the orders but time to lure more people in.

Again I renew my invite to prove meet wrong by dealing with costumers and clearing the air.

Meanwhile I'll be contacting the local authorities

[Dux2K]

Definitely report him so they see he loses his status/membership or he does his part of the deal.

at 2013-09-20 i made an order at technobit.eu for 8x HEX16A and directly payed it via bitpay

now it's the 6. of december and i didn't receive my ordered hardware and get no reply to my mails about additional shipping costs...

[ubauba]

Well I am going to look into legal adice now, he has held my money for over a month which means I lost interests on it, did not deliver the items which means loss of income.
He keeps being active on the forum but fails to reply to me.

Something is obviously going on

Hello, me too. I ask for a refund at Technobit.eu Website on 2013-12-09. They told me, the refund "will be done in 10 days". Yesterday (2014-01-09) I double checked my bank account and get nothing from Technobit. Plus they don't answer to any eMail or Contact-Message furthermore (last few weeks). They are scammers. My Order-ID is FESYNGABJ. I am going to my lawyer and will fight against those scammers using the most possible of an law enforcement. However, law enforcement is much easier sind 2014, because the scammers sitting in Bulgaria and are now  in a country based in the European Union.

Don't purchase anything from Technobit Scammers.

[btcminer84]

I agree to the thread opener. Never got a refund as promised ("10 days until christmas") via email or contact form.

Technobit.eu is just scam So, beware!

Ordered with December delivery, still waiting and no email answers.

Guess the scammer has run away with your funds.
Sorry for your loss

I don't think they are a scam. This is how my order with TechnoBit went.

1x ordered 19th Novemeber for Decemebr Batch 1 was delivered by Dec 13th (Shipping €30 DPD) paid PayPal
1x ordered 22nd November for December Batch 1 was delivered Jan 22nd. (Shipping €4 bigger order) paid BitBay
4x ordered 23rd November for December Batch 1 was delivered by Jan 10th (Shipping  €4 bigger order) paid BitPay

I didn't get a tracking number but they all arrived within 7 days of their order system changing from "payment accepted" to "shipped".

Technobit don't seem to able to combine orders so my advice would be never to use the €4 "bigger order" option, it may cause delays because it could look like you didn't pay for shipping! Their PDF file doesn't seem to include your shipping notes like "add to my previous order".

Paypal is back on their store, and as that arrived first, I'd have to say paying the extra 5% for PayPal probably adds some pressure to deliver your order within 30-45 days!

My 22nd Nov order came last, it seemed missed because it was out of date order, so I mentioned it to Martin on the Hex16B purchase BitcoinTalk thread, and it was in the posted the next day! Comms are not great but being nasty to Martin won't get your order out any faster.

Sure I'm not happy with how long my order took, but all Bitcoin miner manufacturers have delays, Butterfly Labs took 6 months+ to deliver some of their orders, my Technobit experience was much better. These things are custom made, and they cannot make everyones order at the same time, if you want fast delivery, order from someone on eBay who has a miner in hand, but be prepared to pay up to double for the privileged.

Your sending is signed received.
Just check tracking please

You are geting your miners without ASIC chips - what you paid for !!!!!
You spam more than 100 msg in all my treads.
So goodbye

The problem is not in 217.5 EUR
So after all this bitching here, in monday I'll ship you what you paid for
2 boards without ASIC chips , tested to work on 0 GH/s

I asked for a refund (usual EU right of withdrawal) of 217.50 EUR on 2013-12-10 !!!!!!!!!

New EU rules on consumer rights
http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-11-675_de.htm

5) Better refund rights

Traders must refund consumers for the product within 14 days of the withdrawal. This includes the costs of delivery. In general, the trader will bear the risk for any damage to goods during transportation, until the consumer takes possession of the goods

6) Introduction of an EU-wide model withdrawal form

Consumers will be provided with a model withdrawal form which they can (but are not obliged to) use if they change their mind and wish to withdraw from a contract concluded at a distance or at the doorstep. This will make it easier and faster to withdraw, wherever you have concluded a contract in the EU.

So again: Give me my money back. Otherwise you can also pay for the transportation as well as the 217.50 EUR refundable costs!


Why you told me the refund needs max 10 days?
Why you asked me for my paypal adress to refund me, but did nothing?

You wrote via contact form on 2014-01-10:

We are able to do this paypal so please give us paypal account

Why you NOW decide to deliver products I asked a refund for it?

I asked for a REFUND!

You wrote via contact form on 2013-12-18:

HI,
I believe I did answer this already
in 10 days since 12 of December
 
Best Martin
