What happened:: Today I saw another fake Linzhi seller and like I always do, I wanted to report it here just in case someone needs information about it. This website is
Bitcoinminerstore.com.
The interesting thing here is that they claim to sell ‘used’(second hand Linzhi Phoenix). And you can order as many units as you want, which means they must have all of the Linzhi Phoenix miners in the world. (

The other impossible fact that caught my eye is ‘LINZHI DARK PHOENIX’. They have been photoshopped a black miner with 4 fans and claims that this is the upgraded version 8gb.

And the third but not last thing that you will see when you visit the website is that he strangely looks a like another SCAM website. Probably the guys behind the both websites are the same team.
Their prices are not that low, like in other scamming websites, so it would be very unfortunate for someone to fall in their trap. Here is their whois.com information as you can see the domain is
