The unfortunate thing is we are in the UK and worldwide payment methods are far and few between.
Our bank cannot accept wire transfers outside of the UK and PayPal seems to be our only option at the moment.

Hi “Becca”,
The gig is up. We found that ctsminer.com was associated with the IP of 185.8.106.66 when it was first registered. That is the SAME IP address that butterflyiab.com used to perpetrate their scam. We can only come to the conclusion that you are a part of that scam and this new scam as well.
If we have made a mistake, please provide evidence. If I don’t hear back from you, then I will know or sure that you are the same scam group that fooled many before.
If that is that case, you have my congratulations. You guys are evil geniuses. You played it so well and created a lot of data points that made it look legit. The phone number being only a single digit off of CMS was genius. And the british voice being so similar to their message was also amazing. I fell for it hook line and sinker. I have never been scammed before and I learned a painful but valuable lesson.
Thank you,
Daryl

Hi Again Daryl,
Yes, although not been accepted by the wider Bitcoin audience, sales are still going very well.
As previously mentioned, Michael (my manager) and I have decided against any more PR on the forum until we can bring some more PR material and photographs (potentially next week) as we feel this will help.
I really appreciate what you have done and of course, pass that code onto your brother!

Because of their rules regarding pre-orders, we are a bit stuck!
David, who runs the CTS sales team, is actually meeting on Wednesday with our bank manager to see if there is a way international bank transfers can be accepted.
This could help!
Thanks,
Becca
Kind regards,

lol, What now, Should we DDOS their site??
I think this is the point where the police should become involved.
I've already started writing the news article, so please keep me updated.
EDIT: ps: i like sitting in court watching scambags go down. - and THEY ALWAYS DO.
Don't be obnoxious, try a little harder to be a pleasant person.
firstly, the company in question have indicated they are in the UK.
secondly, see firstly.
have a nice day, friend.
The fact that the scammer's are buying hardware in this forum's group pool indicates pretty clearly that an experienced member of the forum is involved in this scam. Obviously into bitcoin mining themselves.
Any experienced forum members writing in defense of this scam?
Oh, I guess there are a few, eh? The prime suspects are the guy who said he bought a bunch of them, and had the block chain entry to "prove it," and the Hawaii dude.
Posts an order on his scam website, then pays with a different wallet, then posts to "prove" he really believes in this scam. I'm not an expert in the block chain, so if this would not work for some reason, I'd be glad to hear an explanation as to why.
Of course, it could be someone who doesn't post much too. But I'd love to see if someone could track down the pool member who is buying hardware with these bitcoins. Seems like we could identify the criminal that way. Wouldn't that be possible for the guy who runs the pool?
If we got the forum member's i.d., then we'd have an email address, and the feds might even be able to get his I.P. address. And we're off to drag this/these scumbags to prison.

Phoenix is legit the guy from Hawaii (unless you think i'm in on it too) he is less then pleased was on tonite with him on Skype.....
i bet it is these guys from the summer..they took folks for a lot of $$$ too..could be the same group.....
direct link which is still up (heh you probably can order if you want to toss $$$ away) https://cryoniks.com/#!/home/
these guys http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/5/prweb10764188.htm this link is the press release (note: reporter does NO research you can't trust such announcents)
anyway same level of scam as www.cstminer.com if they are one
you trace the IP www.ctsminer.com etc and you get www.butterflyiabs.com scam site in past history (can't find the link) but that may or may not be correct..i think it is though
so thats all i can add to the process....seems the same guys maybe ....just before KNC releases something major a sophisticated scam site pops up
hope i'm wrong we will know soon this week i'd guess
by the by on the www.ctsminer.com site they say prototype testing complete NO pics or video
also facebook link shows 640 or so likes and only ONE comment on the main page..also no links..and no comments the facebook page started a week or so ago
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=246807578814213&story_fbid=1380716922190187
never saw 640 likes w/o any comments before imho
again hope it works out...but not looking too good
anyway I am friends of Phoenix on here and was yelling like crazy for people to run away (BFL refugee out 8K) we disagreed...again wish to be wrong..he is not in on scam
Searing

Lot's of waffle going on. Less talk & more action imo. I will make my own decision by just visiting the premises myself. Bye
OMFG, they are so new, that none of the other services have them in their database. The original service just seems to be down because it no longer works with ANY domain. Maybe it will start working again at some point. Keep checking. If it loads, take a SCREENSHOT!

OMG,
http://domains-by-day.com/2014-01-24/ctsminer.com-domain-name-data.html
seems to have been removed. It no longer shows ctsminer.com being on the IP, 185.8.106.66. It now redirects to the their home page, at least from Hawaii. Uhg! I should have taken a screenshot. Lets find another website that can check IP history of a domain. Looking now
