Topic: I'm a victum of xtrememiners.net scammers (Read 1842 times)
I am helping a victim of hashblaster.com.
(We have worked out some things about them - if you would like to PM i am happy to have a discussion.)
I agree with the prior poster ... these companies look like known companies. Wikipedia article etc.
How can the wiki page be publicly editable without at least a warning about scammers! I think the community could have done more to prevent this!!

Hey guys,
I am/was about to buy an xteme miner, as they turned up in the wikipages, thought "what's there probably is verified and so to be trusted" but when I looked at their site yesterday and hit "order now" I got the message that "this product is no longer available" which made me think huh? let's send them an e-mail with a few questions but not yet any replies from them.
Then I started thinking, I'm mining at 10GH/s (just started mining actually) and saw on their site "2.5 TH/s" which is the same current speed as the pool I'm mining for so it would mean that their device is able to mine twice and even trice the speed of the pool, that just looks too good to be true doesn't it?
So it made me googling and so I found a few topics including this one.
Had some long term plans made up in my mind already but now I'm really doubting their stuff, this really breaks ppls trust I guess.
I read a topic where someone actually got a refund after asking for photos / some more detailed info so for those who allready paid them, give it a try.
Didn't sent them any bitcoins yet, but does someone have more info on wheater it's a scam or not? Well after reading all this I think it's quite clear, checked the wiki and they're back again their, even after I've send them the e-mail so why would they update the wiki but not reply on e-mail(s)? weird not?
Thanks for opening my eyes, and feel sorry for those who lost coins on this, sadly they also say 5% goes to the philippines, probably 100% is for them and 0% for buyers and people out there on the philippines.

WARNING!
Looks like one more faked site is created: hashblaster.com
Again german! again nice speed! again nice price! again nice delivery time! again no history! again no names! again fresh registered domain! Panama!

Sorry for your loss, and thanks for your alert.
Everyone should be careful with it.

Yeah I got scammed by Xtrememiners.net too. Tried to get my 9.78 BTC from them back as well, as was told that they couldnt give a refund because my order was already being processed. Yeah, BS. If anyone else has been scammed by them, I suggest you report it to Hostway Services (the company that hosts the server in Austin, TX) and file a report with the FBI. They've currently been working with redditors on the sheep marketplace incident.
Hi Dice, thanks for your info. Could you please specify how exactly do this (FBI and Hostway Services)? I'm pretty newbie in this area. You could send to my private email olegtaranenko -at- g mail -dot- com. Who are 'redditors'?
If it helps, I can publish raw snapshots of email conversation between [email protected] and me.

Never trust a company that hasn't shipped.
Try to get info on them , visit their headquarters , anything.
Also , the wiki is highly editable , I've seen some minute wars on some pages during the elections , I wound's trust a bit of what's written there.
I do hope you'll be able to get your BTC back.

So sorry to hear that.
No real names. Site created on wix looks like fake.
I don't know if they are scammers or not but why you haven't noticed those things before paying them?
gold rush...
honestly speaking I was "convinced" with wiki page and one of the auction bidding in ebay.de http://www.ebay.de/itm/251389580839?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
only when I started googling on 'xtrememiners scam' I run into other threads here on bitcointalk and my eyes opened.

i think legally they really cant be held liable for anything can they? until the govt there and where u are say they have an actual value?
This is basically the unpinning point of virtual currencies surely?
There is little or no regulation, therefore, you pays your money you takes your chances.

So sorry for you loss of funds and getting scammed. thanks for starting a thread so other in similar situations can post their experiences and work on a possible solution. All the best getting your funds and spreading the word.
