Does anyone know who runs Bitcoinrigs.org? A brief search here shows that they resell AM and Bitmain gear but are also listed as a possible scam.
I got a shipment notification email from them (through stamps.com) that something was coming my way. I didn't open it, but eventually sandboxed it in a VM and looked at it, which surprisingly had my shipping address and the USPS tracking number is valid and shows something moving in their system.
I've never heard of these guys before, so I'm a little curious as to
a. Who are these people?
b. Where did they get my address?
c. What the hell are they sending me?

Theory: You have high forum trust (default trust list). They're sending you a miner so you can vouch that they are legitimate? Maybe it's their way of marketing their product... Even if you're unwilling!  |

FYI looking at his "executive" titles and length of time at each, I would HIGHLY question his competency and commitment. Additionally each of those companies IMO might have even been his failed ventures. So be wary. Usually an exec has a few years at each place. AND has his experience prior to being an exec in there.. I have interviewed my bosses for their jobs (All are execs @ the VP/C level) and NONE of them ever had resumes that looked like that linkedin profile.

Yea it would be interesting. But keep your eyes peeled. Not the first time someone has gotten a review unit only to have their reputation smeared when the manufacturer scammed people (See AMT's original official unmoderated thread for details)
