Look at the home page

Then look at this:

https://www.facebook.com/microprocessors/timeline

Huh. That does increase my skepticism a bit.

That chip they show on facebook is a TRADEMARKED CHIP from another company called "Handshake Solutions", and it is NOT a mining chip. So yes, they illegally used that trademark (not copyright, i'm a lawyer), and yes, that is illegal in Britain and everywhere else.

NOTE THAT "REBECCA", AKA VINNY, HAS NOT ANSWERED THE SIMPLE QUESTION THAT COULD SORT THIS ALL OUT: WHO IS YOUR "WORLD FAMOUS" PARENT COMPANY? Huh

I was looking for this photo elsewhere and found these:

I guess they must be all scam.

The microsoft story is talking about the very chip in the picture. So there's nothing wrong or illegal about that. Similarly, two of others are stories about the ARM processor, so showing a picture of it it perfectly legal, and I assume authorized by the the chip manufacturer.

The fourth is a minor copyright violation (not trademark, because they are not representing it as a different product) by a university on its electrical engineering degree page. It's quite conceivable that they paid a small fee to use that picture, or just used it without permission knowing the worst case scenario is a cease and desist letter. By all means, send "Rebecca" all your bitcoins.

And guys, the "Number Left In Stock" thing on their website is fake too. They are surely making it go down to look like they are selling their imaginary machines. Trust me, they will always have some "in stock" for any sucker willing to pay up.
