scammed on Alibaba.com for mining equipment

Just to let other miners know I got scammed for some bitcoin mining machines I thought I was buying from alibaba.com.  I thought I was buying Avalon 2 400gh/s mining machines.  I have used alibaba several times for other types of products and have had good success with it.  I did not even think of the fact that I would get scammed (so naive).

They got me for $7800 ($2600 x 3 machines)

Joy_Chen1985@163.com is the email

I spoke with the company that I thought I was buying from and they told me 400gh/s machines are not even out yet.  I did not know that.

I got a few other quotes via email.....turns out they were all scammers (4 other emails total)

So, just wanted to let my fellow miners know about this problem and I hope no one else makes the stupid mistake like I did.  This was my first investment into mining equipment and they took all my funds I had saved up.  Sucks.  I guess it could of been worse....but still....I am disgusted over the whole thing.  I tend to learn my lessons the hard way.....this lesson sure did hurt!

So bottom line.......BE CAREFUL if your buying any equipment from alibaba.com!  I hope someone who happens to think of doing the same thing I did reads this and doesn't lose there money.  I now found a couple companies in the U.S. that are reliable sources for equipment.  Wish I found them before I placed the order.......coulda....woulda.....shoulda.

Anyways.....back to counting my pennies to try and get me a real mining machine.
