Topic: Bitcoinware.net possible scam beware !! (Read 1151 times)

I'm probably late to the game on this but this is what I found on bitcoinware.net.

Bitcoinware.net is legit
Bitcoinware.shop appears to be a scam

The latter site appears to mimic the former site.
The .shop site lists the antminer S9 for about $1000 lower than the .net site.

I haven't found any info, reviews, or correlation on the .shop site, but my belief is that customers are confusing the potential fraudulent nature of 1 site for the other.
This is just what I found in my 45 minutes of research.
I haven't seen any other information or warnings on bitcoinware.shop so I just wanted put this out there.

Any thoughts or confirmation on this?
I haven't seen anything on bitcoinware.shop while googling....

There was another thread that I was posting in regarding these guys. In the end, I got my stuff, but they have zero in terms of customer support. I would never, ever, ever suggest doing business with them. It seems to be a trend of theirs - take orders and slowly dribble it out.

My gut is that they order from their supplier based on orders that come in, meaning they carry little to no actual stock. Further, once they have your money, forget about a reply to your emails. They go radio silent.

Find other means, and do not trust these guys.

It would seem that either

a) they're overwhelmed with orders, or
b) they're scamming people.

Placed an order the other evening for a handful of risers, paid (stupidly) via e-transfer (they accepted within 20 mins), and now radio silence. Emails not being answered, chats not being answered. Nothing.

Beware of these guys, seems to be scamming.

Did you ever receive your order?

STILL AFTER WELL OVER A MONTH THEY HAVE NOT REFUNDED ME EVEN THOUGH THEY KEEP PROMISING THEY WILL, i spoke with the keepkey people and they assured me bitcoinware.net is legit and it is there certified re seller of Keepkey wallets.   Bitcoinware.net will take your money do not trust them.

I found the site because it was on the keepkey reseller list on the keepkey website.   So i figured it was legit but obviously its not. 

Thanks for the warning. Could you also post the Txid?

How did you hear about this site? I had never heard of it before this post.

Hello i have stupidly purchased 2 Baikal A-900 Giant miners from bitcoinware.net on in mid march. They assured me they would ship out in 2 weeks. I paid well over MSRP at 3769.75 USD each. I paid with dash coin and received a confirmation from them that they would ship out within two weeks. It has been almost 4 weeks now and they have stopped responding to my emails asking for updates. The last email i received from them was around april 1st telling me that the first set of dash miners they had aquired was shipping out and there automated system will let me know when the miners ship. I waited another week and over the past 7 days i have emailed them again requesting a refund because the miners have not shipped. They have completely ignored every message i have sent. If I ask them a question through a different email they assure me if i order a dash miner they will ship in 2 weeks from the order date. I feel i have been completely scammed by this site as it is a lot of money to simply not respond about. I want to put a warning out to the community to stay away from Bitcoinware.net as they are likely not sending me miners. If i hear otherwise i will post an update and remove this post, but its not looking good. If anyone has had any experience with this company please let me know.  edit: i spoke with someone today who assured me the miners will be shipped out soon and that the office has been over whelmed with orders and emails and that they are sorry for the delay.   I have been asking for a response for over 2 weeks so im glad they actually are talking now... i will post updates if the miners ship
