Curmudgeonly hardware guy
I'm just really glad scammers are lazy. About a thousand bucks and a week's actual effort could have put together a million-dollar scam, but who wants to do that when you can play on the computer for an hour instead?

We really should let this thread die.   Someone took smartminer and photoshopped it.... not a suprise.

The sad thing is chances are someone or ones will fall for it.  I cannot explain it but these keep poping up due to they make profit again is sad.  This product does not deserve to keep the name high up in hardware section.  And all the bumps do this.

Bitcoin FTW!
This is hilarious. Even if it's not a scam no sane person should trust these people with any amount of money.
Even if it were legit, it's safe to say that the miner would underperform greatly and they could be using some other company's miners.
I really don't trust these guys even though the product looks good (but it's a copied image thats photoshopped to look custom).

I want to buy three of these with the lottery that I was just notified by email that I won.  Can I have them delivered by an African Prince?

The icing on the cake is a google search of the phone number on the PR: 3475354730

The search reveals that this number has been a source for the infamous IRS "You are under arrest" scam phone call.

I just wanna know why a 15 year warranty??

No one out there gives anything bigger than a 5 year on anything these days....

The miner would be losing money in 2 years, So can i deduct 13 years worth of warranty off the price??

Seriously obvious and STUPID scam, as the ONLY companies with previous experience with BOTH Bitcoin AND Litecoin miners are (1) Innosilicon, and (2) Gridseed / SFARDS.

 End of list.

 Anyone stupid enough to fall for THIS scam deserves the Darwin Award.

"Common rogue from Russia with a bare ass."
when a scam is so obvious.. why dont people leave neg trust to the newbie perpetrator? 
or is it not even worth the time?

I think the newbie OP was just being naive, not shilling, from what his brief posting history indicates.
V cheap electricity in Egypt......

Looks like they've paid for another press release: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ph-miners-launches-powerful-cryptocurrency-miners-for-bitcoin-and-litecoin-300229590.html

This whole thing is an absolute joke, using that old image is a pretty stupid mistake as its been used in other scams. Unless of course its the same people trying to scam again?

It’s been two years since pH Miners founders decided to create their own cryptocurrency miners.

But the domain phminers.com was only registered at the start of 2016. Surely the first rule in any new business is to secure your domain name.

I just hope nobody falls for this scam, I don't think they will as it been very poorly executed and people are much wiser now.

Evil beware: We have waffles!
Is this the first scam effort that is supposedly based in the USA? I am omitting obvious poor performer like BFL that actually tried to produce something, and did so at one time. The others I've seen in the last year were always in some country other that the USA.
As a pure Scam, ja it could be.
Even the AMT/Bitmine.ch kerfuffle https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=304605.6400 did start as lets, call it at a minimum over-enthusiastic marketing by Bitmine.ch. Josh Zipkin of AMT was 'just' their 'Made in USA' end of their A1 based miners and was/is quite a piece of work.

The BCN scam would be right up Zipkin's alley.

Gee... I wonder why it looks like a normal server.   And it get's better use a search to see if picture is online it is.... there are other miners who have Photoshopped this pic before they did not even us a original pic to Photoshop: https://www.tineye.com/search/270a16124c7905d1919b7c75e3301647a11a499c/ .  Appears they edited a smart miner picture.  So scam using another scams picture.
