Beware of bitcoinprosper.co.za I purchased a couple of small items to test the site. They have a wide range of mining related products available on there site and their prices appear to be reasonable, however after making payment the following happened.

1) Payment confirmation came through from Payfast
2) No invoice our purchase confirmation was sent to me via email
3) I phoned their landline and someone from another company answered, they then were not sure but said they are putting me through to Bitcoin Prosper. The phone rang for 2 minutes and the call was terminated
4) I then sent them an email to their email address shown on their site [email protected] and the email bounced.
5) They have a online messenger on their site, I contacted them there and to my surprise they replied. Gave them my purchase details and contact number.
6) Received a call from staff member and he assured me I would receive an invoice and confirmation of what cornier the parcel will be dispatched with.
7) Three hours later still no invoice or courier details
8) Contacted them on messenger again and was told my payment and order was cancelled
9) Sent them info and details once again of the payment that had gone through with Payfast. They then replied and said sorry they had deleted all their emails but but they have my order and they will sort it out.
10) Just received a messenger reply "You will have your cash invoice by COB today"

If they come through and supply me my goods I will keep you all posted in the mean time be careful of this site.
 
I now have received an invoice with the correct goods as ordered and paid for.

Will advise when I get more details.

Quite hard to register with payfast, you have to supply various verification documents. Any issues contact them and say you are concerned about this seller, they don't like dodgy sellers using their service.

They are removing themselves from PayFast. I just received a refund for my order because apparently PayFast weren't paying Bitcoinprosper quick enough. They said they will move to another provider in the mean time.

Their website also mentions their 'team' - but if you image search the faces they are just random people in different countries with no relation to the company.

This doesn't mean that aren't legit - just their website and some of their actions are suspicious.

Dude that is dodgy as FCK. I would NOT trust them with a single satoshi. TSEK

We only purchased our machine 2 months ago and have already made our money back!!! We are so excited we have just ordered another 4 mining rigs. Thank you so so much BitCoinProsper for your excellent service and quick turn around time.

What did he buy? :erm:
 
Site doesn't leave me with much trust. Google those names, nothing comes up.
 
Update - Just received the following message from Payfast

"I trust you are well.

We received a request from BitcoinProsper to refund you your purchase of R745.00 for order 5573.

Can you kindly provide your banking details in order for PayFast to process that refund.

Bank:
Branch:
Account Holder:
Account Type:
Account Number:

Looking forward to your response.

Regards"

Now I am even more concerned
 
Should I be proved wrong I will re-tract my advice to avoid this site at all costs. Just checked again now they are still accepting payment via PayFast. Be-careful out there a lot more people want your hard earned money for NADA.

I'd avoid it anyway.

I also did an image search on their pics - which pointed to either a website template which was just copied or they are terrible at faking things.

Also their Facebook page has 2 reviews. One from Deb Pradhan who lives in India and the other Muhammad Waheed.

I'm trying to see if I can go to their supposed factory in the Bluff (Durban). I'll let you guys know how that turns out.
 
Hi all I received a call from Bitcoin Prosper today checking if I received my refund and apologized for the bad experience I had. I will make a new purchase on their site and see how things go and let you all know how things work out.

After receiving my refund and the call from them today I may be wrong about them.

Those photos of them are fake though. Just do a google image search. Super dodgy!

Ask them for actual photos of their 'team' :crylaugh:
