Apparently most people on this forum don't know the difference between opinion and fact. There are 0 facts and/or evidence to support a scam with this company or most of the companies people call scams on this forum. Without proof, it's not a fact or a statement. It's simply your opinion on the company and hearsay is not evidence to prove a scam.

Proofs: late with delivery, no communication between company and buyers, no proofs that units actually exist or are in production.
Unless this is your first time ever ordering something via net, I'd ask for a refund.

I've been scammed by Chinese and UK merchants few times already via shops, ebay and few more, and I can tell when someone is trying to rip me off. You are a believer thus I presume, even if you'd be shown a video of BFL CEO telling this is a scam you would still tell it's fake/montage and you need "real" evidence, not some fabricated, low quality clip.

Of course, I gave myself back-door exit earlier stating: "I might eat my own words" but that's because I'm smart and I'd probably could pool the same scheme if I'd ever get desperate to STEAL from other people in broad day light.

In my opinion there should be some kind of an announcement on their web site, most companies, especially small and indie-like ones, got every social platform (fb, t, g+) and they keep updates quite often. Sometimes it's borderline spam but people are informed and in case of BFL their news are like of an "depressed attention who*e". And they don't even bother to delete or respond to accusations on their own fb page from what I've seen.

Not having to prove you are innocent is one thing but running a company flagged by community as scam or shady one is risky, unprofessional and leads to gossips.

Really, imagine you ordered new car about 9 months ago. Company got 2-3 positive reviews by the blogs/sites dedicated to the cars, people are hyped and wait for their ordered cars to arrive from China. And them wait. The only thing company is doing is posting, on a rare event, some already know facts and another videos of being praised by some car-guru... I'm guessing most people would get at least inpatient. And to pay "guru" some money and ship him one unit (of the limited, actually working series) just to get some feedback and giving few money backs (actually forced by the bank/money transfer company) still doesn't ring a bell?

Real company would rage and fight for their image unless, they got enough money not to care anymore- just what happened here.

Of course, I could later eat my own words if the units are shipped but shouldn't those already have had arrived in the Q4 of 2012? And we are mid Q2 of 2013. I wouldn't really want to wait that long for a overhyped car which seems to be too good to be real. (If you could make scams in professional science magazines about two identical snowflakes BFL looks like taking a candy from a kid.)

I was (luckily?) too poor to order mining rig at the time, and heck, my friends was gathering resources to actually set their own medium sized farm but gave it a pass since they did some research on ASICs but it's somewhat short-sighted to neglect mining coins because of high difficulty ratio and new technology coming in.
First of all, with good rig you can always mine silver and bronze for few days and just store your earnings on a stock/vault or just in pocket, if ship hit the fan, you can either panic and sell coins or take a risk and keep them. And I'm still talking about silver and bronze!
Secondly, even if a newer technology marches in it will take the spotlight and mining per se will open spots for mining to the new users. And again, if BTC difficulty is too high, why not try other ones? Of course, you can get in another scheme or strange coins like YAC but still, for the few days after some signs of upcoming events few not informed buyers will eventually buy those, especially if you will sell them for few cents lower than others. I mean come on! Why do I know market tricks and still don't own at least 100BTC? hahaha

I doubt they are a total scam. They aren't doing great by any means, but I honestly believe they will eventually fill all of their orders. I don't think they anticipated the response they got.

If the problem was the number of orders, they could have at any point stopped taking them. That's what any reputable business does. If you go to a store and they don't have what you want so you get a raincheck, they don't say "pay me now and we'll give it to you when we get it." They let you keep your money and pay AFTER they get it.
Pandora a gaming hand-held/unix emulator console was like that- they stopped taking orders when they did reach they factory quota and that was great marketing move. I still think Pandora was managed by honest and responsible guys, not only crazy and greedy geeks wanting to sell overpriced emulator.

They probably refund some portions to maintain the image of good company. Besides those who paid with services like earlier mentioned PayPal, got some buyer protection as well to force them to get theirs money back.

I wonder how many people paid with BTC... ?

Ive order BFL units and cant wait for it to come in....

Well, you can as well burn those money and wait for Sasha Gray and KISS to come and clean your house. (I still think that KISS playing a gig while Sasha Gray would clean it is more reasonable to wish for).

Tell minimum credit please- if more then 0.05 it's profit for the owner and scam for the users imho (which is everyones bread these days in the coin business).

I will try site later and report here but my first though is really good looking and easy to navigate.

Edit: Looks fine to me (unless it will vanish after certain amount of premium memberships will be purchased Wink)

If I calculated correctly, I'd make 4$ (minimum withdrawal) in 100 days by clicking ads only? Sounds good to me, does anyone know other sites which rewards with BTC for ad clicks?
