Hi,

I'm new on this forum and I don't want to create any problems, just glad that I can write my experience and ask if you guys know any reliable mining hardware shop.

After long research I finally paid $12,000 worth of equipment from miners-world.com BUT I got scammed.

They did not send me any product and stop responding to my emails. Order number: mw949761

My question is:

It's any real website from where I can buy decent equipment?

I thank you in advance for all the replies and ideas.
My budget it's $60,000.

I live in Macedonia.

As a mining equipment supplier in China (not ad), if you are trading for the first time, I suggest you to buy mining machines on Alibaba/Newegg/Amazon. Of course it will be about 20% more expensive on these sites, but it is definitely not a scam. As for direct purchase on the factory website, we may not be able to buy it even we are in China. Our company has direct cooperation with Antminer and Whatsminer, but we may not be able to get it.

I've reported that garbage as spam, hope it gets deleted, but there is something else fishy about that website on top of what Bitcoin_Arena posted

Whois data shows 2019 as the registration date but I've seen it mentioned here on bitcointalk in 2018, so, dropped the domain again like in another case a week ago just refurbished for scamming. Not saying that the first one was a legit one, just adding another warning that old domain names or some good reputation for 5- 6 years ago means nothing sometimes.

The best way to buy a mining setup is to contact a card provider. For example to zotak, asus, gigabyte or MSI etc.

Yeah, too bad we're on the Bitcoin section where we discuss bitcoin mining and none of those guys produce Asics which are needed to mine bitcoin.

shop.antminer.hk

My friends have bought on that page, shipments have successfully arrived in the USA and Mexico

If you read almost all review sites. All people are complaining of getting scammed.

Its been 4 months since i bought a miner from them and then was the last time they answered my tries to correspond to ask where my item is!

Quote

This online shopping website cheated me by not giving me my already bought item!!!! Change the vendor until you still have a chance.

Quote

I WANT MY TRANSACTION AMOUNT REFUNDED OR MY MINER REDELIVERED RIGHT NOW OR I CALL THE POLICE ! DONT HIDE FROM ME!

Quote

the miner that i have bought from here is still not being delivered when i waited 3 months in a row but still nothing comes

To shop safely online you need to know who you are dealing with before rushing into purchasing. The good thing is that online shopping means you’re only a few clicks away from making a purchase. It can also mean you’re just a few clicks away from being targeted by a scam.

Bogus websites like shop.antminer.hk can be difficult to recognize and spot sometimes, especially if its well made, like the one that this fraudulent vendor is using! I rushed into buying without paying attention if this vendor is legal or not. NOTHING WAS DELIVERED

Quote

They disappeared soon after i gave them money. It is bad that the site is still online and not shut down. Nothing was sent to me after paying shop.antminer.hk.

Quote

I was really surprised when i noticed that shop.antminer.hk are fake, because have read good reviews so i decided to trusted them, which was a big mistake, because they didnt send anything.

There are so many scams on mining equipment sales. The only sites you can trust are those from official mining equipment manufactures and official online stores.

If there is no stock in those sites, you are better off keeping the money to yourself, or you will lose it to scammers

At least check when the website was setup! Hopefully you will also be VERY wary of resellers 'endorsed' by a newbie's 1st and so far only post. Ya know, like the one above from pgranados...

The best way to buy a mining setup is to contact a card provider. For example to zotak, asus, gigabyte or MSI etc. They either have their agency branches listed on their websites or you can contact them via their contact details and ask them that from where can you buy their product. They will give you the contact of their agency in your country and you can buy from them. They have their agency all over the world. Who do not scam and if they scam you complaint against them on their website. They will do a penalty to the agency. The agency are third party who have business deal with these companies.

I only buy on eBay or Amazon. They can handle complaint and take money back from seller's account or chase money back.

With that kind of budget you should be able to buy directly from the manufacturer.

60k is peanuts, to make direct orders from the manufacturer you will need at least 60m.

OP, let me know what type of mining gears are you looking for and I will recommend someone.

Block halving is coming.

What do you mean is very hard to find in stock from the manufacturer?

You just didn't check the website directly on the site shop they also have newborn units, you just jumping without checking them unless if you're looking for cheap low-end units or used units?

If you keep looking for unknown or non trusted mining shop you will scam again.

Electrical engineer. Mining since 2014.

I have not seen any review about such site and yet you sent them a whopping 12k USD!?

With such careless mining plans you should stop before you lose any more money.

Hi,

I did purchase from them because:
Was in UK and I live in E.U. they had in stock, I thought I was able to get the product fast to start mining right away.
I will try to buy from manufacturer, but very hard to find in stock. I am thinking of waiting for the new KD6.

Thank you very much for the links. Grin

I never heard about that website where you've been scammed.

Why don't you buy directly from manufacturers instead of buying on an untrusted 3rd party?

Anyway, you can check this list https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/current-list-of-competitive-hardware-january-2020-5045732

Also, try to contact him offordscott or zeusbtc.com
