I totally agree with you that some people are too lazy to seek advice or even do their own research, which always makes scammers successful. If you created a topic about this matter on the Russian local board, it would be appreciated and valuable to many there. May you all be well.
In Russia there are probably a lot of similar fake sites or fake telegram groups from real stores. Fraudsters cheat on everything where you can get an advance payment. This could be a prepayment for a cheap car of several thousand dollars, or a prepayment for an inexpensive phone of several hundred dollars, or even minor fraud with an advance payment of 10-20 dollars. Everyone knows about this and there are thousands of such fake resources. You should not pay an advance payment in Russia in such services, this is basically a scam.
Verified companies work through transport companies and your payment will be sent to the supplier after checking the goods.

albon, you did a great job!
If you buy ASICs in Russia, you can find many companies with a reputation and at least 5 years of experience on a large Russian forum of owners[...]
Thank you also for sharing this warning. I hope that no one falls into these traps again. If there are reputable alternatives from companies with many years of experience in this field, and their details are publicly available, anyone can verify them and check the equipment from the shipping and transport office, along with positive feedback from previous customers; this would be a safe solution. Buying from unknown stores doesn't make sense just because they offer lower prices. What is more important is that they receive the mining equipment they ordered smoothly, even if they pay some additional fees.

like this company.
You can find many options for sending equipment with the possibility of checking at the office of a transport company, but beginners do not ask the advice of experienced miners.

This is a fake ASIC store. The company address on the website is fake. Clients say that there is no such company there. Phone numbers can be registered in someone else's documents. Payment is accepted in cryptocurrency, so it is impossible to return the payment.

There are also a lot of such fakes in Ukraine.
Through the contacts page on the store's domain https://megaasic.ru/page/contacts Archieved, you will find at the end of the page their Telegram account @megaasic Archieved. Upon reviewing the account, you will discover that they have used a picture of Игopь Cлeпчeнкo (Igor Slepchenko), who manages the "Mining31bel" store and not "Megaasic" as shown in the attached image below.

In addition to this, I contacted Igor, the real person behind the original image, and he informed me that he had nothing to do with the scam Megaasic store. The Telegram account the scammers put on their Megaasic contacts page is impersonating his identity, which is not his official Telegram account. He also told me that he had previously warned about these scammers and blamed buyers who made purchases based on the fake store's low prices compared to other legitimate stores.

I advise everyone to do their own research before placing a purchase order in any store and not be deceived by the cheap prices. Having a video chat with the store owner to verify his identity is possible because many scammers impersonate accounts and create fake scam websites.

Although I knew that there was a problem, Google Translate is not professional to understand the details. Quoting part of the text and translating it into English would be useful. Is Megaasic.ru one of the cloud services that suddenly began to appear, or is it a company that has a headquarters but decided to turn to scam?

I'm not Russian, but I did a reverse image search on one of the MegaAsic images and it led to an OLX listing from AsicFix, so there might be some connection between the two [or it's just a rip-off]:

This topic will be useful for Russian miners, because there is advertising in RuNet and there are already complaints that the company is deceiving customers.
https://miningclub.info/threads/megaasic-ru-moshenniki.106824/
The deception is that the company takes an advance payment in cryptocurrency and does not send mining equipment to the client. Follow the updates at https://miningclub.info/.
