Do yourself a favor: Go to support.bitmain.com and read any of the payment threads.
In the entire several years Bitmain previously existed, those threads had maybe two pages of orders with problems. Many of which seem to get resolved.
In the last two months, all of them now have at least half a dozen new pages all full of the same thing: "Bitmain took my money, won't confirm my order as paid, did not ship product".
That's exactly what happened to me.
Also, watch out for Bitmain employees paid to post on this forum and elsewhere talking about how trustworthy they are. Astro-turf is cheap in China.
greyworld, really sorry to hear about your troubles. Do you know that Bitmain intends to go public soon? Since reputation is very important for a successful IPO, it makes no sense for Bitmain to scam here and there on some orders. They will be losing money on their public offering many times more if they scam you for 1 or 2 bitcoins. Are you absolutely sure that you paid Bitmain and paid on its official site? There are a lot of scammers that use nearly identical addresses.
If you placed an order on Bitmain site, then you should immediately get an email asking for an exact payment amount. The email should be only from [email protected]
If it is from someone else, it is a scam.
If you placed your order on Bitmain and you have proof of payment, then no worries - you will get your miner and will profit many times more. Check your order history on Bitmain, and open a support ticket with the transaction ID from bitcoin blockchain. I hope this helps you. If not, reply, and we all will figure out how to help you.
The Email should look like this
