Topic: Boscombe Pierlytics (Read 7598 times)

I probably was being a bit hot-headed with the conspiracy stuff. I was (and still to some extent am) angry because I suspect the only check this guy did was Google it, saw other news sites posting it and followed suit. That's unacceptable. Anyone can do that - using automation - decent publications can't and wont use automated news because this will happen. Therefore this guy's reporting is no better than just creating articles straight from CoinDesk's RSS feed with a bit of coding - in fact worse - at least CoinDesk will have checked it out in some manner. Bah, what's done is done, just feeling the need to vent lately.

Most likely they didn't get paid.  The scammers scoured bitcoin news sources, found everyone who normally reports on new equipment, and sent an announcement letter to everyone they found.  Just looking at the letter and website it was fairly convincing if people weren't being discerning. 
Of course this is no excuse for posting information to the readers who trust you.  There should have been more investigation.  Of course I love breaking new stories, and being the first to do it.  Gets you a lot of hits and new subscribers..  but it's just too dangerous to push a story like this without looking into it.

And Bitcoin Magazine.. I refuse to look at the bitcoinmagazine website or buy their magazine now. There's no excuse for what they did and all they've done is swept it under the carpet. It almost smells like a certain "reporter" got paid for this... they've lost all trust from me anyway and why read news from a source you can't trust at all?

fuck Boscombe Pierlytics to hell

i believe the bitcoin magazine, after reading the article, i paid them money.

maybe time to kill them to hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Reuben Alexander: know and acknowledge that you are or at least were an active part of this scam if it turns out to be that, it was good of you to have identified your mistake and took down that article but honestly, that is as half baked a reaction as was posting it to bitcoin magazine in the first place, the fact is that you throu bitcoin magazine (a trusted source by the community) endorsed this PR, this was not you buying their stuff.

this product only seemed attractive because it was published on bitcoin magazine as i recall it there was no indication that it was posted by a bot

Its with great shame that i acknowledge that i too am a part of this scam because when this PR was posted in the Bitcoin magazine y shared it with someone dear to me who thru listening to my enthusiasm for 2+ years and started asking me for a good mining rig to buy & had been telling them that it seemed to late for the available batches and that he would be better buying bitcoins directly.

He Acted... with a wire transfer... Too late to cancel

know it appears by the info on this thread that he is down some USD$3,600 Do i feel responsible? hell yeah, ABSOLUTELY YES. what is there for me to do? pay him some part of the money that was lost... (any adult giving, transferring, etc.. money its responsible for what they do)

What can you do? it would be nice of you to prove that you were not involved with this people, sadly that is almost impossible

I think you should use your time and effort to investigate whether this is a scam without any doubts, and any individuals involved.
and help bring them to light.

Do some follow up articles in the Bitcoin Magazine and help those that are being seemingly scammed join to consider action

As for your lead editor i think he left you easy with a "do better in the future" because this kind of slip (Zero Check, trusted outlet) in this environment (Sold out batches, prolonged ship dates, burgoing exchange rates) its at least naive and down right suspicious. if you can just apologize what stops you from doing it (if not again) in the future...



so if you ARE sorry dont tell me... SHOW US.

to coin@coin, easy for you to think an apology is sufficient. good for you that you could cancel the deposit. congrats.

They sent another PR Article today!


Be vigilant folks. Good work by the forum members here.

Make sure you send any concerns to your bitcoin news sites ASAP when these issues are found.

when i search for "Boscombe Pierlytics", this thread comes up first rather than their official website. This is good for newbies as they can read the review first before going to their site.

Did anyone succeed in contacting the guys whose photos were on Boscombe website?

I'm asking because the photos had been taken down.

You are totally right. I shared this thread with the lead editor and we will be doing more checks with companies requesting press releases + asking for adspace. As Bitcoin users start to increase in number, it makes sense there will be more rotten apple businesses trying to scam people.

Don't feel like you are the only one to jump into something prematurely. I've done it and had to learn the hard way. This is why scam lists and these sorts of discussions are important to help folks think and double check things with a trusted community first.

Thanks for taking your article down Arc, I wish others would do the same!

xstr8guy, thanks for putting together this scam list (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-scam-list-366659). I didn't know one existed and only knew of a hand full of companies I've read about on this forum and reddit.

As I said, ASICMINER, was the only mining company to deliver from inventory days (no more than 1 week) after I ordered. They have several sellers and the user I worked with was CanaryInTheMine who was very good to work with, has an impeccable system of delivery with his group buys, and verification of Bitcoin wallet addresses used to pay for the miners.

Thanks for the input Donkezz.  Looks like you probably got a brushoff.  I'm sure you've seen that you shouldn't buy from them from the information gathered so far, but be careful if you do for some reason.

I call him and he answer me.
I am from slovak.

Then i have one question on they company.

"Can i collect the goods in person, can i arrive to you for my miner ?"
They say, call me later i will wait for ask


Sry for my english

Oh good work.  I hope they reply.  It seems as if most scams are pointed out then forgotten.  Would be nice to catch a few to discourage the fad.

Sorry, the link to https://or.justice.cz/ with the document expires after some time 

If you want to look at it:

1) go to https://or.justice.cz/ias/ui/rejstrik-$
2) put Boscombe in the search field and press Hledat
3) then click on link "Sbírka listin"
4) click on link "C 218244/SL 3" in the column "Číslo listiny"
5) the document is hidden in the section "Obsah", look for "PDF podoba"

Previous post was from me, I've posted from my old account.

This, for instance, is the agreement on the transfer of a investment contribution from Profispolečnosti Praha s.r.o. to Mr. Zdeněk Skupeň:

Now, those guys whose photos were abused to portray "the team" on the Pierlytics website could file a complaint against Z. Skupeň easily. I believe someone in this thread sent them some e-mails already, let's see if and how they'll react.

If they have a connection to a company that they used is it possible there is a paper trail leading back to someone?  If so could someone local notify authorities

I think it's not necessary to call or visit them:

The company Boscombe Pierlytics is a "ready-made business" set up by http://www.profispolecnosti.cz/en/. They even use their "Virtual Office" service (http://www.profispolecnosti.cz/en/services/virtual-office), headquarters address match one of the offered.

The only thing I'd be afraid of is, whether Zdeněk Skupeň is really behind this scam or someone abused his ID card and set up a company using his identity. Nothing uncommon here in Czech Republic

95 percent possible it's a scam, I'm from Czech so I can give them a call...

No https:// no thanks!

If you want to take a sensible risk then order from those that work with the community members including mining software teams.

Oh definitely not, but there is a lot of research that must be done before buying mining equipment.  For every real company there are 5-10 scams.

edit-
Oh btw did the person who was emailing the people that the pictures from get an answer?  That would be interesting..

Dont know. They are announcing resellers soon, so you may be able to get one from them.

I dont think BlackArrow's batch is gone.

Banks slowness at transferring money has it's benefits I guess

Good for you.

Someone needs another round of hair plugs!  The first batch didn't take.  

the third photo of their link is on roman company s website also
lulz

and they are making valves

lulzzzzzz

Because apparently, Ruben Alexander (the author of the article) is a lazy SOB and simply posted a Press Release directly from Boscombe and claimed it was an "article" that he wrote.  He should be fired immediately.

Please tell me you are joking!  Did you read this thread before ordering?  This is a "probable scam".

When I grow up (and stop drinking, end with college) I will be a detective, meanwhile I send another email, we will see the reaction of well known two people in Czech and how long will be page on, ooo hell no I hear the police format c:

It's unfortunate a lot of people don't know how to do this, but by simply saving an image and then going to Google image search, there's a little inconspicuous camera icon inside the search box to the right. Clicking this allows you to select the search by image option and then allows you to upload an image to search for.

Doing this will save you from losing thousands of dollars on eager investments and that hawt Italian bombshell you just met last week breaking your heart when she turns out to be an overweight neckbeard with MPD.

Even if his name were "Dolita Sucky Sucky" i would not buy it, come on, look at his face! But why Bitcoinmagazine goes so fast in publishing this pressrelease, bad journalism for them!

OK END OF GAME

Roman BALÁŽ Commercial Director MSA, a.s.

EDIT: I wrote a Roman Balaz email,I will share his reaction  

They will lose any chance of credibility quite quickly this way.  
Not that posting pics of a couple guys who can't be found online gave them any to begin with.  Who are they working with?  Maybe they have their own foundry!  

Carefull!!

Miner's are calculated in quantum measures like "/S min"

Might be 1TH/Sec or 1 TH/Min

Like in Slovakia well in Czech, the no. uno for scam companies, an address, which fyzical is just a postbox. The Act confers an obligation the person / owner must his company have in the commercial register of companies, but the law does not specify whether it should be private building, apartment in a block of flats or mailbox

I send email too. Im interested If they accept a visit, But I'm waiting answer.

lol..  just noticed they haven't changed their page yet, I even emailed them about it. 

Chef Engineer

What kinda ASIX yall cookin up there?

Flappy, they opened up shop today at 5PM (which timezone, idk)  I'll often be contacted by people asking about these types of things, or companies wanting to spread the word about a new product.

Whisper, I can't really tell.  It looks like he could be a made up person.  Also I find it hard to trust companies that don't at least come to bitcointalk to get the nod of approval.  Usually this is because they have something to hide.

MrZambonie, sorry I'm not seeing the connection.  Could you tell me how you found it? 
If you're right it looks like they set up a scam six months ago.

I did find this article though,

http://bitcoinexaminer.org/czech-company-boscombe-pierlytics-now-accepting-pre-orders-for-new-bitcoin-mining-rigs/

Seems irresponsible if they haven't been vetted first.

http://rejstrik-firem.kurzy.cz/02326591/boscombe-pierlytics-sro/

Hmmm is the Zdenek Skupen are live person?

Googled their address and came across another site that said they are a scam. Same address different domain. Hope this helps

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/11146/can-anamurminers-com-be-trusted

How did you find this?

Oh right..  here is their website.

http://boscombe-miner.com/

Has anyone seen this yet?  Specs look about in line with other machines coming out at in February and March.  I haven't seen any threads devoted to this company yet, which is a bit of a red flag since the page is in English, and well done.  (only a couple errors that I have found, and trivial ones at that)

I can't find their team on Linkedin, though they do come up on other social media.  One of them is just listed as "Jan."

Maybe someone with unlimited data will want to do a more thorough look.  I'm almost out for the month.
