Webstore Fraud

Abuser: Buyer beware. A website, seemingly set up using ID theft. www.antminers9.com.au + others

First, I talked with the "live support", occasionally a "send a message" plugin float box. Asked about their location, why the phone number didn't work, if they had stock or drop-shipped and the timeframe to fulfil and ship orders. After a few days of umming and ahhing, I decided to pay in bitcoin. Then proceeded to never hear from them again. Noticing the oddity of the website the next day, only after paying and not having received a receipt and shipping details. I go to the site asked a question, the plugin floating box disappeared. refresh they would approach me again, plugin disappears. Except on other devices, where the chat would only disappear if I broached the topic of an order I had already made. There is also no way to make an account, mind you I didn't want the spam that often comes with making an account, so I didn't even try until after. The website uses the Cryptoniq Payment plugin for wordpress, found in EnvatoMarket. It is used with many legitimate websites. Yet now I have also now seen it similarly set up these kinds of websites, often with a similar page theme ... Now that I know what to look out for. Plus there may be a point to mention that to get a .com.au web domain, often you need a Australian Business Number. Where considering the business who brought the domain is a plumbing business that went into full liquidation in 2019 ... and the domain was brought in 2020. It makes me think there is a case of stolen identity in play to create up to at least 3 similar web-stores. The site still as do many others remain up today ...
