Scam Description
I tried to buy a cryptominer on Ali express from a seller, Ali express allows scammers to post on there site asking customers to pay in cryptocurrency outside of Ali express and will still be covered by Ali express. Scammer keep asking to but more for a discount like buy 2 get 1 free and keep saying his boss really want to extend this limited deal and then after purchase a few days later they say delivery is in hold at the board to pay more to get thru customs, and when try to contact Ali express there non responsive and they Dont let you make any reports they just keep saying sorry before you even explain what happen you can speak to anyone beside one guy you can’t email any one you can’t even speak to a manger or supervisor which obviously there in on this scam and there’s a fake shipping company there using called https://www.timepointxpress.com which has no way to contact them also they send more quantity then you purchased so that your more compelled to pay custom to make you feel like your getting over on them when really its all a scam
