What happened:: Hi guys, it’s been a while since I have posted something, so here I am.
I have seen one pretty interesting scam website ( cryptominer-shop.com ), which is registered back in January this year and it seems it has been working and scamming people for about 7 months!
They look legit, but I’m pretty sure that they are nothing like!
If you check their shop page, you will see for what I’m talking about – they have miners in stock, which have not yet been released.
Of course, the payment methods are only – ‘’Payment methods accepted are: Cryptocurrencies (BTC, BCH, LTC, Dogecoin)’’.
Another sketchy thing is - ‘’FREE SHIPPING FOR OVER 300 € ORDERS’’
Also, you can’t find any information about them, only their fake address, email, contact form and these two rows here –
‘’Established in 2012,We are a company specializing in miners and providing mining farm hosting service.We’ve been on this line for more than 5 years and have rich experie-nce in investing this field.’’
For me these two rows look stolen or not update since 2017
