Linzhi.co.uk Review — SCAM, Stay Far Away
The second scam website we are going to be reviewing today is linzhi.co.uk. This is yet another fraudulent website, this time impersonating linzhi.cn.com (the official Linzhi website). Once again, just like with all the other scam websites, they are going to try to sell people crypto mining equipment and then send them nothing in return. That is, because, in reality they own no equipment whatsoever and only want to capitalize on the fact that Linzhi is a newer company on the crypto mining scene.
It is blindingly obvious that linzhi.co.uk is nothing but thieves trying to fool people into sending them their hard earned crypto. Below I will list the things that give us definite proof that they are scammers. These are a few factors that you should always look at when choosing your crypto mining vendor.
Let’s begin with their prices, as they are the first thing you will see when you enter their website. If the other Linzhi clones at least tried to look legitimate by putting prices close to the official ones, linzhi.co.uk are outright insolent, putting abnormally low prices. It is ridiculous, knowing the realistic price of the miner is completely different. Do not trust these thieves for one second. Something else you might notice on the product page is a countdown timer, one that always starts at exactly 10 days. If you refresh your page, it might continue counting, but try a different browser in private browsing, or if you have a VPN that would be even better, and you will see that once again it will begin at 10 days.
The next thing we are going to discuss is the available payment methods. As with all the other scam websites they have put up crypto as the only viable payment option, as you should already know that is because it is irreversible, and doesn’t offer the same customer protection that PayPal or bank transfers do, for an example. Just a quick look at the payment options available will tell you whether a website is a scam, like in this case.
Now, lets talk about their online presence and what people think about them. First, let’s take a look at their TrustPilot. You will find a few five-star reviews, all with three or four-word sentences, and then you will see all the actually real reviews giving them one star and exposing them for the scammers that they are. If you scroll down a little bit from their product page, you will see that they also have a YouTube video uploaded there, with a very original thumbnail. However, that thumbnail is the only original thing in the video, as the video itself is stolen from F2Pools YouTube review of the Linzhi Phoenix. If you also check their channel, you will see that they have over five thousand subscribers, only one video, and over 100,000 views on said video, with only 25 comments on it, most of which are exactly the same as the fake TrustPilot ones. This alone should show just how fake they are.
When looking at their contact information, and most notably their address, I discovered that they contradict themselves. On their “Contact Us” page they have listed their address as “Phoenix Warehouse Park End Street, Oxford OX1 1HU, UK”, but on every page if you scroll to the bottom left corner, you will see “Linzhi Ltd is a privately owned semiconductor company in Shenzhen. We are a self-funded startup of around 10 people, focused on Crypto ASICs “, which directly contradicts the company name they have in their footer at the bottom of every page “Linzhi Technology LTD”. It is just hilarious how they failed at even these basic things.
In conclusion, linzhi.co.uk is probably the worse Linzhi clone I have seen so far, yet, they still deserve to be exposed for trying to scam people and steal their money. Stay as far away as you can from these criminals. Their only goal is to rob you and give nothing in return. Stay safe.
