kudos you really did a great job here, that office photoshopped is quite hard to trace, you can trace the profile of people, but the office is something else, just one look and you will see that they are legit, they even had videos for promotion which I believe are hired from Fiverr or similar sites.

Thanks for putting it out there. One of the most commonly asked questions on service discussion is probably whether a company selling mining rigs is legit or not.

The fact is that, if it's not well known, and it doesn't have a verified team and product that is behind the company, any company that claims they are a "reseller" or manufacture their own mining rigs without actual physical product proofs is very likely to be scams. Even if they're not, it's probably best to not take the chance and have to find out the hard way.

There is no doubt that in this case, they paid media to put coverage about him. Remember that paid coverage doesn't equal trustworthiness, because a lot of scams use this same tactic. Their poorly designed site is a telltale as well.

One more interesting thing is they rather have a physical address listed on the website, along with phone number. Hope this can help in tracking and stoping the scam as the amount you listed they scammed is more than enough.

All of the team members of the project are faked by using stock images from a paid website here

OneMiners CEO:

I don't think there is need of listing other faked team members as just the CEO is fake makes the whole thing spammy.
Still, I have archived the page here.( archival )

What happened:
A friend jokingly showed me this obviously fake online store claiming to sell "new generation of Endothermic Multi Algorithm CHIP" miners (I kid you not - that's the exact wording they used). Everything about the website is 100% fake and a scam. Every photo, every terrible Photoshopping job, every "team" picture (can be reverse image searched and found on stock photo websites)... everything. The wording used on the website sounds like bad Chinese English... and I can only speculate where this website originated from.

Scammer's Website:
www.OnMiners.com

Amount Scammed:
Pricing tiers for the badly Photoshopped images of rack mount servers with their logo on it - are ranging from $4500 to $30,000.

Payment Method:
On the website, they claim to accept only "Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum." (I wonder why...)

Additional Notes:
We should also take note that they paid to post a "company review" article on the Financial Post:
https://business.financialpost.com/pmn/press-releases-pmn/business-wire-news-releases-pmn/onminers-changing-the-game-in-cryptocurrency-mining

And from the looks of it - they paid some people on Fiverr to create a generic promotional video for their one month old YouTube channel:
