Topic: I am having problems trying to get refund from AvalonShenzhen - page 2. (Read 2991 times)

He almost got me. I was looking at the prices of these on ebay and got the old "if it's too good to be true, it's probably is" feeling. 300% profit that he was losing selling on here than ebay. 

I tried asking and my post was deleted as was another one. I started PM some members and it seemed as thou a lot of the buyers were newbies and was afraid to PM to many of them as I thought he may have been doing some of that himself with more fake ID's trying to make the GB look legit.

yes, 2 members from batch #1 :

Bitdreamer
&
Jicoli

dont even exist. how is that possible?




I guess he just made up those list to make an impression that others are ordering...

Would someone besides a newbie post pictures of the insides of their boxes?

Sorry but no pictures besides vendor....very odd for such a thread

Thank you

More than that... Batch 1   Had 5 buyers.. Which 3 are newbies all with join dates of the 22nd or 23rd and other 2 I can not find. Then batch 2 search their names... Can not find any of them and there is no post by any of them. Batch one buyer act like they got their miner in hand within 3 days and batch two just got tracking numbers emailed to them but not one of them posted a thing? Batch 3 are the suckers that will loose their BTC. I say this is more than just "very odd"

OK, so question arises.



Why the fuck did mods allow this scam to last so long? 3 weeks on bitcointalk and no scam thread or anything?

they left AvalonShenzen with self-moderated thread. they left him with a self moderated group buy thread for 3 weeks.


he managed to scam 80 btc, that is a lot of money.

the BTC is still at the deposit address

Yes their only post was on this GB. I did PM both trying get as much information from them and the OP as this thing smelled of a scam from the start.

the only ones that confirmed they received anything was 3 newbies that all had join dates on the forum of January 22 and 23. Every time someone posted questioning the GB the post got deleted.

checking all nicknames from batch #1 that supposedly received their miners.

so far not looking good. they are all newbies, with 0 post.

AlfonsoD
joehash
...

he sure just drop-shipeed, but maybe left some traces there

he did.

some senior members confirmed that they recieved their orders in batch #1

Yeah, fuck. This is a large scam. Did he not have confirmed previous sales? Let me see if I can contact some friends to track him down and get some legal action against him.

Yeah and all emails bounce email address was also deleted.

Well, it didn't take long.

AvalonShenzhen has deleted all posts and disappeared.

Good riddance.

I doubt there will be a delivery..

James this GB stunk from day one and I have PM from him and his fake buyers from 1st batch. This was a scam from the start. Sorry for yours and the others loss.

hey, phil, would you be able to confirm that you, or someone you know, have received a unit from him? if so, I am willing to delete my posts and do as you suggest. Thanks!

James

looks like you are correct. I will delete my posts in this thread

I can still see the very first post he made:

So these are sold without PSU - how many PSUs, and what wattage and connector types are required?

Quote from: serpiente12 on February 09, 2014, 11:46:20 AM
So i really want to order and get it shipped now in 12th February is this stil possible? i have required the bitcoins needed but im not so used to all this so i just need a confirmation....i am buying a mining rig of 200GH/S + ? And all i need for it to work is PSU and then its plug n play?

Hello Serpiente12,

Thank you for your interest.
First of all, it will be shipped friday 14Th feb and not 12th, just to be sure you know it.
It as a mining rig of at least 215GH/S but look on the post of earlier customers, most of the time it is around 220GH/S.

The full miner is a stand alone miner. So yes, you need to install 2PSU (check first post to have tech. specifications) in the miner and connect it to internet.

After that, you just have to enter the info about your pool to start mining.
If you have any difficulties, we can give you support via teamviewer but it is very simple.

Regards,

Sorry. I should've read it more closely.

It says in the description that each unit requires 2 power supplies. Can I use 1 large/powerful power supply? Can the PSU or PSU's be mounted inside the case like the old avalon units?
