What happened:
I was researching for this new miner and their ad kept showing up and I got curious. They claim they are the official Linzhi shop, which is obviously a big lie and that the official website is also theirs. They are clearly scammers and looking for a fast buck during the hype which the miner created. they have even put up an upgraded model with 8.8GB, still with 2600MH/s, I can not know the logic behind this, but that doesn't matter. What matters is these guys are clearly having customers as they are are advertising this website agresively. And they do not sell it for cheap, the standard model is $13700 and the upgraded one is $15800. That is a lot of money for someone to lose.

Another thing I noticed is that the website look almost identical to another one I recently saw, but can't remember the domain right now. I will update the thread as soon as I see it again.

We have to fight these scammers somehow. It turned into a normal practice to scam the newcomers to Crypto and that is not good for the community as a whole( just my 2 cents) .

Additional Notes:
Do not purchase the miner from them and please report wherever you can and spread the word.

You are right! They are an absolutely fake website made for scamming people. Unfortunately hosting companies and advertisement providers don't really care that such websites exist, as long as they pay them, they are ok.

I completely agree that this should come to an end, but unfortunately some people are uneducated and you can't give that to them, they have to decide to do it.

There will always be scammers out there.
