Miner-house.com — Another Scam Seller!

The next target I have set my eyes on is miner-house.com. At first glance their website actually looks a very legitimate, when compare to the other ones I have reviewed so far. But that doesn’t mean that they are legit, I have conducted a thorough investigation and found out that many of the things they claim on their website are absolute lies.

Below you will find the process of my investigation and other factors that prove that miner-house are nothing but scammers. The things and methods I will provide below will also be valid for any other online vendor, so It would be good practice to always check for them to establish whether a seller is legitimate or not.

Let’s begin with the fact that no matter where you look, they haven’t listed a company connected to the website. This is highly suspicious, because if they were legitimate there would have been information about their company. They also mention another website (www.ako-tazit-kryptomeny.sk) and also that they have been on the market since 2015. If you check both websites, not one of them has been up since 2015. Miner-house.com has been up since 2020–11–14 while the second website has been up since 2017–12–27. There are 2 years missing, for which I can not find any information or explanation.

Next, we will take a look at their contact details, starting with their address. I couldn’t find their address anywhere on their website. I then decided to give them a call to ask about scheduling an appointment at their office, but they never picked up. After that I decided to email them instead, to enquire as to why I can not reach them on their phone number, and to ask for an appointment so we can discuss a potential order. Their answer was that their office is closed until further notice due to the pandemic, which I can understand. However, they also said that their number is not functional, once again, until further notice. This would be unacceptable for a legitimate business and seems highly suspicious.

The payment methods are the next thing I looked for, as it is a clear indicator for a website’s legitimacy. It seems like they have both crypto and bank transfer as a form of payment. Which seemed good at the start. I placed an order with bank transfer, and it said that they would give me a call within 24 hours, but they never did. A day later I received an email that currently that payment option is not viable and I would have to use crypto to pay for my order. That was a clear sign of a scam, as it’s the same with all the other fraud crypto mining equipment vendors.

Now, let’s talk about their selection of available products. They seem to have a wide variety of ASIC miners, which is possible, but seems rather unlikely to be. In specific they also have products such as Innosilicon A10 7G 750MH/s and Linzhi Phoenix. The Innosilicon model is one that is very hard to find right now and is sold out absolutely everywhere. It is very suspicious that they have this model in stock, and it hasn’t been bought out yet. The other product, Linzhi Phoenix, is only available in Linzhis official shop (linzhi.cn.com) and nowhere else.

Another thing you can take a look at is their TrustPilot page, which is full of one-star reviews and nothing else, which should tell you enough about what people think of the miner-house.com and how they treat their clients.

In conclusion, miner-house.com is just another scam website, trying to scam people by taking their money and not sending them any miners in return. Their website is a bit more convincing than the others that we have covered in the past, but that doesn’t make them any less malicious. Stay away from them and stay safe.
