What happened:: Vgagold.com is the new website which caught my eye.
Looks like our friends from vgaminer.net are trying to come back in the game but with new name. ( Here is my old topic about them
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5320011.msg56434258#msg56434258 )
The web site is the same like the old one, only the name is a little different.
The concept is the same, theme is the same everything is very ugly and badly photoshopped on white papers with the name of the company. The pictures you can find online everywhere.
The prices are again very low but the new thing is that the last time they made a fake bitcointalk page, now there is a fake news website (
https://technewscrypto.com/2021/03/26/vgagold-com-review-best-cryptocurrency-mining-hardware-equipment/ ) – only the first article is ‘OK’ with text about them and how good they are, but when you click to some other article (
https://technewscrypto.com/2018/09/14/finra-charges-broker-with-fraud-for-trading-unregistered-cryptocurrency/ ) you will see the same text everywhere, some random words just to fill the space there (
https://technewscrypto.com/2018/09/14/how-to-mine-bitcoin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-crypto/ ).
The last two links are different articles but the same. In conclusion there is only one article in this website which is the one for them.
Again, they have tried to fool the naïve people, but they cannot do it with the curious one.
