Hi,
 I purchased some merchandise from bitcoinrigs.org and was informed at time of order that the order was on a 7 day backorder but would ship within the 7 days.  I patiently waited and after the 7 days expected some sort of shipping notice or further communication. I emailed to follow up and ask for tracking number.  No reply.  I followed up with a few more emails over the next few days.  Still no reply.  In the end I contacted my credit card company to proceed with a chargeback since the seller clearly has no desire to talk to customers after payment is made.  I don't know if they expected to just take the money and run or if they didn't have the product.  If they just couldn't supply the product then they should be straightforward to customers.  Either way I would stay far away from these guys.

Hope it helps someone looking to buy...  find an alternate source for your hardware.


Same issue. Took a little different approach.

Charge card line item provided a phone number for bitcoinrigs.org in Raleigh, NC. No response to phone calls. With reasonable confidence (but not 100%) linked that phone number to an address that was a UPS Store mailbox. Linked that to another web address which has "whois" info that matched the phone number and mailbox address which provided an individual's name as a POC. You can follow that trail a bit further if you are really interested, but can't do much with the info you get. I put it all in a package and filed a consumer complaint with the State of North Carolina Department of Justice. If anyone is interested the link for the complaint is:

The bitcoinrigs.org web site says they are a "Crypto Mining Corp Company", but the State of North Carolina Secretary of State's corporation search does not find that as a registered North Carolina Corporation.

I know the credit card company will credit my account if I submit there, but I'd like to make at least a feeble attempt to see if the bitcoinrigs.org will communicate and/or follow through on my order.
