If you have paid hundreds of dollars extra on a miner so you get it early, now your looking at brown away money... Scam or not that is not ok!
Same for me, but I remember at the time of D3 purchase there was option to buy either October batch for high price (about $3k) or at lowere price from Nov batch. Unfortunately I decided to buy more expensive batch hoping to earn more money. This was my fault, but I can't blame GW for this.
