Topic: Fake Antminer Store - promineruk.com Review 100% Scam (Read 521 times)

Sorry my friend. They were never a legit mining equipment store. Turns out they are just a bunch of scammers as you will have already witnessed reading through this thread.
Good luck trying to get them to court though i think chances are slim given that you don't have personal details about the criminal behind the scam.

The miners never come and no refund.

I am definitely worried. PROMINER is a SCAM website and I have all the proofs, dates, order numbers, and transactions.
On February 14 I made a purchase of 4 page miners around $ 7,196.00 using bitcoins which due to the current crisis of COVID-19 decided to cancel the order due to the delay, they only ignore my messages, but I am sure that I am going to look for them and take them to court for theft and fraud in one way or another.
They just take their money and leave.
Order #805 was placed on February 14, 2020

Confirmed. their paypal is under Heton LTD

Now that you have availed the Tx ID, that's good.
However, what i want to know is whether it's possible to report their whole profile in trust pilot whilst including all the details of people who have been scammed or this thread so that their trust pilot profile can completely be deleted because trust me, those scammers will try to fight back by reporting your reviews since they have lots of accounts.

OK, so I asked CoinBase support regarding my TxID and I got reply. I got the chain, here is the proof:

Help me out guys to trace these scammers and lets fight against them!

Im sure I wasnt the only one scammed regarding to few recent hidden reviews on their trustpilot page. I put there the review yesterday and they already reported it and hide it from the public cause Im the competitor LOL....really? competitor? f*ck you prominerUK, I hope you go to Jail for your cyber criminal activities and robbing people!

Word of advice, don't even think of considering using their website. They are pure scammers and he have seen quite a number of victims so far

---

Never believe reviews from trust pilot. They seem to be so easy to fake. I have never used that platform before but if it's possible. I think you should report their fraud to the trust pilot team so that they can remove the scammer's profile from their platform.

@Ladi777, whew, that's rough. i had been looking at the site for days now since i start to search for asic miner. that sites indeed seems suspicious. since they claim that they are working directly with bitmain and other asic manufacturer, am sending query on bitmain support asking for this promineruk.com. Waiting for their reply.

I emailed to the Coinbase support with the request for my TxID, so once I get it, I will post it here if thats safe. Thanks for helping me out with the issue.
 

@Ladi777:  Please understand, I'm trying to help you.

Firstly, without a TxID there is no proof of payment. If Coinbase didn't provide you with a TxID then I suggest you contact their support. I don't use online wallets because they are not secure, but ANY reputable wallet should provide you with a TxID automatically.

Secondly, you've also paid for 24 months hosting - meaning you won't see it for at least 2 years anyway, then they might ship it to you - but in all honesty I doubt they'll be around in 2 months, let alone 2 years.

Contact coinbase, get the TxID then move all your coins out of their online wallet & use a proper wallet that you control, not a third party - this will avoid these types of issues completely. Again, without a TxID nobody can help you, sorry.

Of course I know what I paid for, but they provide nothing, they dont talk, they dont answer, they dont refund, they do nothing.
There has been no support or intention to help it or explain anything from their party. No warranty, no contract, no contacting, no team who would want to assist with anything. I asked them to ship the machine rather to my address for the same cost since their company goes off the register soon, but got no answer either. They play dead beetle.
-------------------------------------------------
Look I made a transaction and it debited my account, so where else would money go if not there?
There is transaction on my app, maybe u are using wrong program. I sent it via CoinBase and got my reference number you ve seen on my picture proof



According to the first screen invoice you've also paid $700 for 24 months hosting - are you aware of that?

No, that also shows zero tX's.

When you make a Bitcoin payment, you automatically receive a TxID - post it here. Also, what about the 24 months hosting you've paid for - are they hosting it for you?

I suppose it was this BTC wallet I sent my bitcoins to:

3NA4RanJ5g71yRcN3AsZdLiqPNSdTP3H8c

but maybe their cryptopayment gate on their website promineruk.com changes the btc wallet number everyday or every transaction I dont know.

That helps Ladislav, but can you please post the TxID or the Bitcoin address you sent the payment to?

Edit: According to the first screen invoice you've also paid $700 for 24 months hosting - are you aware of that?

Here is a PROOF, there is no reason why I would lie. I lost money with these scammers!

Ladislav

Sorry, but there is no proof that I can see. Please post the TxID of your Bitcoin payment to them plus any other screen shots or info - that would be proof of payment & we can then trace these guys.

Edit: The address you provided shows zero transactions.

Hello guys, I have made an order on 28th February 2020 at ProMinerUK.com and I paid for an order #913 exactly $2.699 USD via their payment gate with my bitcoins. I ordered Innosilicon A10 ETH Miner + PSU + (24 months Hosting) and I got no informations about my order anymore, no product or service provided, no support, no answering. They do not reply, do not refund, totally ignore. Dont buy anything from them! They are really FAKE! I have reported them to ActionFraud Police UK already. These guys are cyber criminals and deserve to go to jail! They have like 600 positive reviews on trust pilot but now I believe they were pre-written by themselves. I didnt pay much attention before shopping into investigation if they are real or fake. Really stupid me. Next time I will be more careful about my money, since Im trusful person, my bad. So I lost my 0.30926159 BTC on these jerks who selling nothing for thousands of dollars.

On the top of it......these scammers plan to liquidate the company and want to rob as many people yet as they can since they got only less then 2 months to strike off the company off the Uk register.
Dont get scammed guys! No more victims

PS: Paypal is only for an eye, but yeah paypal would chargeback them anyway, so they might be refunding you the money in hope you order from them next time via bitcoins.
My bad I wasnt using paypal as a first option, I would not have lost my money forever now.

If you feel solidare and appreciate my HONEST review, contribute some to my BTC wallet (and maybe I get a little bit back from this scam)

3CfKJpJ6j6qQkrwfJr3XwrWrAYxbx187iz

If you were deciding to order from them or not, I hope my PROOF will help you to STAY AWAY FROM THIS STORE!!!

Sure you should have done research first but anyways sorry about the ordeal. We do hope you get back your money.

There are so many scammers posing as mining equipment sellers and a lot of people fall victims. I am not so much into mining or it's equipment but i think a list about legit and trusted mining equipment selling online stores made in this forum would be a good idea and it would save dozens of chaps from getting scammed.

Thanks for the info I message the rep and they are responding for now until they run me around long enough. They are probably hoping that I get fed up and just give up. I should have just did a search on them with regards to scams first before I made the purchase.

Most of their info was already posted here and I think that it won't weigh anything if you add more into it. Their profile haven't replied to anything and they were last active when they have posted their last post so maybe they just gave up the fight, they didn't even replied why the OP didn't receive hist Antminer when they already confirmed that the payment was successful. The only help you can do by adding another scam accusation against them is of course showing that promineruk is fake and had several scams against several buyers, but hoping that you will receive the antminer you have bought might just be slim to none.

Sigggggh so I placed an order from promineruk.com and I am currently waiting to see if I will receive my order. I did the payment by wire transfer. I only suspected the phone agent being very suspicious after I made the payment. The WhatsApp number they are using is +44-795-705-8326. I saw they had a lot of good reviews on Trustpilot however now I am seeing this might all be fake. If they do not fulfill their end of the deal is there any recourse in this matter?

IF THEY DO NOT KEEP THEIR END OF THE DEAL I WILL BE POSTING ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR FRAUD HERE!!!

I beat you to it.

Who do you expect to believe you when there are red flags being presented all over of the store being fake and scam?
And why haven't all other complainant's problems been solved? huh?

I am actually starting to believe that your account was created to shill these scammers and you deserve to be flagged as one of those trying to conspire with them.

Just to put a few more nails in the coffin of these scammers, they also have hijacked Tim Cullen's details for these two scammy sites, too:

coindesk-mining.com and fox-launcher.com both show pretty much the same layout and have reference to Mr Cullen:

If you dont believe me,  that is fine.

Did you create this account to post this? No one will believe your words without proof. So provide proof here, so that everyone will know that this is the real site. Without proof, you can not prove this website real even by just creating thousands of accounts.

As you are a 2 day old noob account with 1 post (here), you'll have to provide some proof of this - otherwise nobody will believe you.

You have got to be kidding me!
Just because they refunded your money doesn't change a thing about the fake antminer store.

Read the information that had been provided in the thread before coming out here to blindly defend them. They literally have lots of red flags all over them and their operations.

I havent actually looked but i have used a couple of fake ASIC stores and just because they refund you doesnt make them 100% legit. Im not sure if the store this thread is about is a scam but you would have got your money back via paypal anyway and they know that. I suspect they offer paypal and refund PP in the hope to gain your trust and use BTC next time, which is obvisouly when they would get you (assuming they are a scam).

Out of interest what is the country on thier paypal and are they verified?

I have odered an antminer from promineruk.com, I have misunderstood about the order before I paid ,it was a pre-order, I just dont want to wait , that is why I asked for refund ,  I tried to contact the company, after 24 hours, I got reply from promineruk.com,  they are agree to refund  all my money, I got my US$2400 back by paypal , I am 100% sure they are not FAKE STORE, if so, they have been disappeared with my money. I do not agree promineruk.com is Fake store .

Good work, flag supported - I suggest others do the same to help avoid others getting scammed here.

Unfortunately your money seems to have been lost forever since they are scammers. It's a sad thing but this should be some sort of lesson to you to avoid trust any random person or website online with your money.

Guard your money jealously and research until you are more that sure that you are about to send money to a legit service.

Bullshit. I mean, sure, a Tim Cullen is listed as being the Director and Shareholder of Crypto Asset Mining Limited, but I'm pretty sure you're not him.

You see, Timothy Paul Cullen has a history of being appointed to quite a few companies as an accountant providing officer services to those companies:

But when it comes to Crypto Asset Mining Limited, a company which is about to be struck off the register, there are some additional disturbing facts:

Not only is this company purporting to be trading as 'promineruk', it is also behind the scammy 'investment' mining website 'crypto2mining'

DO NOT VISIT THE WEBSITE OF CRYPTO2MINING - it is infected with a malware downloader:


My theory is that Timothy Cullen has no idea about the scammy activities of the actual people behind this operation, he may not even be aware that he is appointed in the first place as there are a couple of clues which suggest his registration as the Director and Shareholder are not set up quite right (I won't divulge as it is a frequent mistake that scammers are inclined to make when doing this).

In any event, OP, I believe you are correct, promineruk.com is a scam and I have tagged their account and raised a flag accordingly.

Hi Mr. Tim Cullen,

Id like to buy that machines but first i want to see one working, can i go to your address and visit you?

"Pasting my reply from another thread"

So, I think that this company looks legit for 2 reasons;
1) It exists with its registration in UK (Incorporated on Jan 4, 2019 but not renewed this year, keep reading)
2) It offers you a PayPal method which I believe is safe considering it has purchase protection (I might be wrong about that) in case you do not receive the item as described or at all, you an open a case with PayPal.
BUT
Doing just a basic search showed that this company is going to be dissolved within 2 months. Search their registration number 11750907 for UK and it will take you to following website under tab "Filing History"

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11750907/filing-history

This will show you that they filed to be dissolved on Feb 20, 2020 (4 days before when "Supposedly" Tim was replying that this company is legit and claims of scam are false.

I do not know what does this mean or if it means anything at all, but I'd rather wait for 2 months and see if this company has been renewed. I'll be happy to learn more about a company being dissolved in UK or anything else related to this matter.

I wanted to add screenshots but didn't know how to add that as I literally made this account right now to add to this topic since I understand the frustration of ongoing scams these days as I myself has been looking for these ASIC miners for past 3 weeks and almost every other website I land on looks fishy when I do the search on this website or reddit. I am not comfortable in making a purchase with crypto for 2 reason
1) No purchase protection
2) Too much additional cost related to it (when you buy crypto, let's say on Coinbase then you pay not only a higher exchange price than the actual one but also the commission fee)

So, I only look for websites which can offer me to purchase either with PayPal or with my credit card.

Anyone else who has positive experience in buying these ASIC miner and wanna share their experience, I'll be happy to learn.


Thanks

Hello,

I'm Lester from ProMineruk.com

Can I know your order ID to check this case?

Kind Regards

Yes Mr. Tim Cullen (if that's your real name or there really is a Tim Cullen)

I'm a victim of this scam. I paid and got nothing. I have tried to contact you several times, no one is answering.
My number was blocked from whats app. Calls are not being answered.
Stop talking about TrustPilot.com. I have written a negative comment there. It will not be published. Why not?

I tell everyone who wants to order something from promineruk.com not to do it!
I CAN PROVE THAT IT IS A FAKE!

What explanation do you have, Mr. Tim Cullen?

I'd be interested to hear your comment.

Greetings
Driton
