It is best to be extremely paranoid and careful in the bitcoin mining business,
to avoid losing your money.

Background check is a must, when buying hardware.

Thanks Hagssfin.
I am normally very cautious but got over excited.
This thread at that point was just the first post and a link (New Bitfury B8)...Luckily I had a moment of paranoia when I looked at the amount I was going to spend and decided to check with Bitfury first.

Lesson learned for much less than it would have cost had I proceeded with a few more clicks.

I visited this site after it was first posted here on this forum and made it as far as the checkout with 2 B8's before pulling back and contacting Bitfury through their legitimate website first.
They told me they have nothing to do with this bitfury.shop site so yeah I can also confirm it is a scam.

Close call though.
The site looks very real.
I nearly lost a lot of money.

Who would be crazy enough to do an order with that time frame? Huh

SCAM

THE OP might want to update the original post because i didnt realize it was a scam until I started researching. Its very misleading first post.

Be wary of this website. I sent an email to Bitfury and they confirmed that they are not associated with bitfury.shop in any way. This is likely a scam!

Can you confirm that it is a legit webshop?

I can't see any link at Bitfury's official website www.bitfury.com

I cannot, kind of why I asked the question.

I'd am thinking it is legit as there is a guy in Toronto wanting to sell them.. Claims to have them on hand. It's a 2 hour drive and that city has to many Fing people so going to find out isn't very tempting.

Just doing a little more recon on bitfury.shop.

1. It's behind CloudFlare
2. Bitfury.com is not behind CloudFlare
3. http://www.crimeflare.info/cfs.html - reveals an IP address possibly associated with this cloudflare account.

Some CloudFlare-user domains with a direct-connect IP address of 185.145.131.236

bitfury.shop
catherby.pw
ddos.wtf

Hmm..

Then using the leet hacking tool of Google - [email protected] email address comes up with some not-so-nice results.

Run, don't walk away from this deal.

Be careful, usually russian websites have a high risk of being scams

Bitfury though is good

Yes BitFury is definitely a very real company.

On there website www.bitfury.com they’ve stated beware of scams here’s our web page addresses.
It doesn’t list BitFury.shop <- this is important.

I’m
Just saying I’d be wary of it personally.

I agree - why is the domain registered from a Russian registrar? Bitfury has no presence in Russia that I can see. The photos of the product are also sketchy. Looks like there are 6 Antminers in a rackmount conversion chassis.

Safe to call scam on this until proven otherwise.

These listings have been popping up on eBay. This is a US firm, but the symbols/logos are similar.

Well it says two batches have already sold out. So their has to be someone who will be reviewing these if true. I should expect we see something confirming this unit shortly.

Yeah there’s no way the sold out notifications are fake..
