"Learn how to identify and avoid online scams."

When purchasing ASIC miners online, it is important to be cautious and do your research to avoid scams. Always be mindful of the price you are paying for the miner and the website or online store from which you are making the purchase. It is also crucial to ensure that any payment methods accepted are secure and legitimate, and that you are not dealing with a fraudulent seller.

We recommend buying from a company registered in the United States, as this will give you the option to take legal action if you are scammed. If you purchase from a business in any other country, you will not have this luxury and will have no chance of receiving a refund. By following these steps, you can minimize your risk of falling victim to an online ASIC mining scam.

"Be aware of fake websites selling ASICs."

Crypto thieves may create and publish fake shopping websites that look genuine or replicate existing retailer websites. They typically feature deals too good to be true, finding popular brands and expensive electronics at extra-low prices. Hackers use these deals to trick you into buying their fake goods and record your banking information at the time of purchase to use for themselves.

Hackers also use formjacking to target online shoppers. They’ll attempt to hack a legitimate retail company’s website and redirect shoppers to a fake payment page. They may use the counterfeit forms created to steal your credit card and personal information.

Online scam warning signs:

  •  A redirect brings you to a page with “http://” in the URL 

  • Prices that are too good to be true 

Online scam prevention tip: Download trusted antivirus software to alert you of potentially unsecured websites. 

Buying Direct-
(manufacture)

Beware of ASIC brand spoofed or screenshot websites.

It is a common misconception that ASIC miners can be purchased directly from the websites like Bitmain, Goldshell, Innosilicon, iPollo, etc. However, this is not the case. If you come across a purchase link on any of these sites, it is likely to be an unsecured checkout from a third-party seller. Many of the websites claiming to be the official manufacturer's sites are actually fake and can be identified by their poor grammar and incomplete sentences.

The real websites of these companies are professionally designed and do not contain any spelling or grammatical errors. It is important to note that these companies do not sell miners individually on their websites. Instead, Bitmain for example has a minimum order requirement of 1,800 rigs. This is because it is not cost-effective for them to sell miners individually on their sites.

Low Pricing

Please be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true.

When purchasing ASIC miners online, it is crucial to be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true. Although a great deal of crypto miners may appear attractive, it could be a sign of a scam. Scammers often use low prices as a bait to deceive unsuspecting buyers into purchasing their fraudulent product. Later, the buyers realize that they have fallen victim to an elaborate scam. Therefore, if you come across low prices, it is best to proceed with caution.

Fake websites,
online stores, and sellers.

Be wary of unprofessional websites or those with poor functionality.

When purchasing ASIC miners online, it is crucial to be cautious of unprofessional websites. These websites may have poor design and functionality, outdated information, or require security measures. Many sites may have broken links that redirect you to another location or lead you down a confusing path of menus and dead ends.

Moreover, if the website does not clearly list its contact information or has no customer service representatives available to answer questions via phone, chat, or email, it could indicate that the company is not legitimate. Additionally, if the website has spelling and grammar mistakes, it could suggest that it is a scam.

In summary, before making a purchase from an online retailer, it is essential to ensure that the website looks professional and has all the necessary security measures.

Due diligence

Research the company or individual selling the miner.

You can contact them directly via email or an 800 number to ask any questions you may have about the product or the purchasing process. This is the first step in avoiding scams and ensuring that your purchase is legitimate. We recommend reviewing the return policy in case the product fails to meet your expectations. Take the time to research the seller before making a purchase, and you can be sure that you are buying from a legitimate source and protecting yourself from potential scams.

Amazon Scam Warnning

Please take note of the following information:


We have noticed that some of our Zinga Coin Amazon listings are being spoofed with prices that seem too good to be true. These fraudulent sellers are using our trademarked logo, Zinga Worldwide, in their listing information and watermarked photos. Unfortunately, Amazon's algorithm automatically gives the buy box to the lowest priced product, which means that these fraudulent sellers are taking advantage of this and scamming customers out of their money.

We receive weekly calls from angry customers who have not received their miner. The only option for these customers is to report the seller's name to Amazon and hope for a refund.

To avoid falling victim to these fraudulent sellers, please check the buy box for the seller's name. If it does not say Zinga Coin, click on all buying options to the left of the buy box and choose the Zinga Coin name to purchase authentic ASIC miners at our best pricing possible.
