Hi all,

I'm also calling scam on officialbit.com.  Should trust my instincts more!

Placed an order and paid 0.16 BTC on the 10th June.  FAQ advises tracking number within 2 days and usually posted within 5 working days.

No tracking number after 5 days so sent an email via the contact us page, no response.

Sent another email 5 days later, again no response.

In between the first and the second email I noted two new reviews appeared, one mentioning that they had problems with postage but all got sorted in the end.  I suspect these are placed by the website owners to give them more time.

Sent another email yesterday basically just asking for a response.  I've been polite in all my emails, even offering them an extra 0.02 BTC for postage (I know, don't laugh) just to get a response.

I'm going to send one final email tonight to see if I can get a response, not holding out though!

Hope this helps!

I found my way to this thread after searching for information on officialbit.com because i thought their prices seemed fishy.  I found a review in Russian that when plugged into a translate comes out as:

"Deception, for биткoины are false shops. One of the addresses for payment 1JXupEKT7zkax8mKmZPX2qdgnPYgdLszxo. Before pay check the address on the https://blockchain.info/ru."

Their reviews are copy and pasted from amazon which is a pretty big redflag, their prices are unrealistically low.  Someone in charge may as well mark officialbit.com as a definite scam.

Same scammers? officialbit.com

Looks somewhat similar, just registered: http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/officialbit.com

Correct. Also a new one: http://bestandfirst.com

All those sites belong to the same scammers.

How do we know? Check this out: https://www.google.com/#filter=0&q=%22Q+Why+Bitcoins%3F+A.+We+believe+in+the+future+of+Bitcoins.%22&qscrl=1 

Another one, which looks quite similar to others mentioned here: bitcoin-hardware.nl

They keep moving and setting up new redirects and shell sits.      .net .orgs and moving the hyphen.  Be on the look out.

well, my tecnique to fight them, is intentionally clicking their ads when I see them.
They waste bitcoins and the website owner gets some. Win-win situation.

Gersics ad? Click!
Bitcoin miner booster ad? Click!
asic market ad? Click!

I placed an order...everyone should just start placing a bunch of orders and not pay..im going to order a bucnh of shit and leave some special notes...just used fake email [email protected] mike smith at gmail

bitcoin-world.net is still alive and buying ads on PPC sites.

bestandfirst.com wasn't mentioned yet and also looks quite similar to this family of scam sites

For those wanting to report a scam, here is the WHOIS data from GODADDY for each domain....NOTE THE REGISTRAR ABUSE CONTACT INFORMATION and please report to them what has happened to you.  I am sure since it is bitcoin there won't be any ramifications since no money is involved, but reporting a fake sales website it in itself may help reduce their ability to get new websites.  I am sure they are doing counter surveillance and watching this thread (and may chime in as a 'satisfied customer') so to the folks who own these sites, suck it!  Everyone else double double check who you are dealing with.

They left and are 100% GONE. We have around 50 reports of users trying to contact them.

That's just madness all of that!

And they catched me too. I made an order at asic-market.com too
After "order confirmation" no one reply and no delivery notification too.
Tried to ask about delivery information, nothing, tried to ask about refund- no one reply.

in my email headers i see that mail/provider (came from [email protected])

they would just change the address. and freezing an address so that the owner can't retrieve his coins goes against the whole decentralized concept of bitcoin. It would require a central bank or institution, which would have the power to freeze accounts. Governments would love it.

I'm wondering if there is a system that can block a Bitcoin address? (Blockchain blacklist)

If for example, 100 bad report to community... so that no one can use the address to get BTC or to send BTC, sort of BTC black list ?

Looking at their wallet, looks like they scammed a few customers:

Hi

I've been also screwed by this so called "Mark Niggerson" (see post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3736230)
and had e-mail communication with him.

Look like he is in UK ... i know UK is big but maybe someone have better knowledge than me to find people ...

if it can help ...

Wow great detective work guys,this is why you never trust a company with no proper address to go and see the product,it always seems to be people trying to hide behind webservers taking peoples money,i am sure they are now well aware bitcoin miner customers are well aware what to look out for when buying from a new company.
