hey guys rpim here hope you're doing well having a really great day all right this is a very very serious video and I am quite heated right now because I just read a message I just got emailed someone got scammed about $30,000 from buying an ice River ks5 apparently from me it was a fake person impersonating me and I I've had enough I I've had enough I've made like plenty of these like disclaimer videos throughout the year and looks like I'm going to have to make one right now and you know what I I don't mind doing it but because hopefully someone will learn how to just do their own research and make sure they don't get scammed either through you know different platforms that are out there Instagram X Twitter just browsing Google I have a lot of there's a lot of disclaimers here I want to just give you guys some information ice River has a lot of fake websites out there and people have been using them and put their hard-earned money to these websites and they get nothing back it's just instantly gone there's a lot of things I want to go through okay in this video I just want to make sure you guys understand for anyone that's new in the space if you guys are trying to buy crypto mining Hardware this is something that is very important to understand okay about like social media and you know getting private messaged and I'm going to talk everything from you know using like Discord all right how to you know kind of Safeguard your yourself this way and also I guess Instagram I'm going to show you guys just a couple of ways just to kind of just understand you know if you're being scammed or not and I just want to start off with this video with my official email is only contact redpanda mining.com nothing else I don't have a Gmail I don't have a Yahoo I don't have anything like that okay I also don't have a WhatsApp I also don't have a telegram if you are getting a message from somebody from any of these platforms whether it's WhatsApp telegram Instagram a Gmail email or X it's not me okay I will never never message you first I repeat I will never message you first or sell you or ask you for any crypto okay all right sell you a product or something and you know I don't sell Asic miners I don't sell those types of things my official links and coupons if you guys are interested I don't even care if you click on these or not I do have a website red pen mining.com and I have trusted Hardware shops and links in this website here on my website right whether you're looking for Asic miners Hardware all that stuff the official links are here okay so this is going to coincide all right I'm going to begin first there's a lot of things I want to read here but I mainly want to go through this first one it's actually very important so there's a lot of people new people coming in and you know they're just typing in oh I want to buy the new uh ks5 or something is uh ice rer k5l so say you enter that into Google okay just just for instance there's a lot of different links here to you know look at ice River okay you know great example lot people type in ice Riv ks5 I just want to this is just an example okay so the two first links that come up is the official website which is ice river.
Okay but look there's a second one called ice Rivers .io all right I want you guys to just notice here these two websites are completely different okay in terms of their outlook here all this is the ice rivers. and here's the ice Rivers ice river. two different websites okay two different domains and I just want to clarify this here this ice rivers. is the fake one okay if you were to purchase you know any of these products that you see here on Ice rivers with an s. you're going to lose your money all right I had someone already already mentioned this website to me and I said dude that is unfortunate you got scammed so the person who bought one of these added it to cart okay added it to cart checked out and of course it comes up with you know you got to put your first name last name all that stuff but you see here here here's here's the here's the kicker okay you have to pay with crypto and I mean that's like with all other website a lot of other uh U you know resellers you know you have to pay with crypto or wire transfer but this website here I servers.
With an S only has crypto all right so once you you know you pay with bit place order you know for instance you go here okay you got to put in all your information that looks like and then it'll come up with the Bitcoin address to pay this amount and once you do that it's gone okay because this is a fake website ice rivers. is fake the legitimate website for buying ice River Products is going to be ice river. okay so just which is all sold out anyway but looking on this website it's they're just trying to scam you that it is in stock all right and you know they have some here that is like out of stock but really it's all fake this is this is all fake look they're under selling the iserver k5l here $18.99 when on the real ice Weber website it's 12,000 13,000 so that's how they hook you they hook you because the price is way below like market value from Ice R themselves and also a bunch of other resellers out there so when you're looking at this price here it's too good to be true it is too good to be true it is a scam okay this is just one example guys another example another great example uh IB link okay this is I just quickly pulled this up so IB link also another prominent Asic reseller they have a website here um which is the official website it actually doesn't even show up first on Google okay the actual official website for IB link is IB link.com dok and they actually say that on their uh Twitter account as well okay but if you Google IB link it comes up with a bunch of other domains here .
co. which is all fake all right these are all fake websites I just went to this one here and you can see again they're like under selling you know their these IB link miners yeah look at this the prices are way too cheap this is completely fake and they're just going to steal your crypto if you do decide to buy it okay this is completely a fake domain IB link. but looking on the official website for IB link they actually have a statement here official statement about an organization fraud ently impersonating our website this is not the first time there's other websites that are also being fraudulent like you know I server I just showed you I'm sure there's a lot of bit main ones out there these websites have copied some of our contents from our official website and provide a deceptive email address sales at IB link minor.com sales IB link. tech.com it's all fake here strongly condemn this behavior and hope that our customers can indeed protect their economic rights if you do recommend our products to your friends please notify them in in time to prevent fraud and under any circumstance our company should not be liable for any loss caused by the user's false belief in forging the content of the website if it is not caused by our fault all right so so there official website is IB link.com dok all right and they show a bunch of different fake domains here okay so you know it's it's sad that there's a lot of people that are just Googling these this stuff and it's it's going to these fake domains that have been established for a while now and it it's still there which is which is horrible right so another thing though okay if you were to say you want to buy bitmain S21 I don't know just for example okay so there are also another scam that was that was prominent out there okay if you're using Google or a web browser there's going to be these sponsored all right posts here all right there's BT miners which I know is legit crypto Miner Bros is legit eBay has a sponsored link here okay bit Kern all right I have never heard of these guys okay but due diligence I don't know if they're or not bit.com I've never heard of that okay so just these there used to be a scam involving sponsored links so these are people or domains that are paying for advertising on Google to show up at the top of the list here so when you're searching for a product of some sort it's going to show up with a sponsored link all right so that is something another thing you got to be be mindful of when you're searching up a product or someone new if you're searching up something there may be a fake sponsored advertisement there okay so that is something to be aware of all right guys so don't get scammed please just just due diligence this is happening like I'm hearing it all the time now as people are coming into the space because you know bitcoin's going up profitability is going up people are buying Asic miners again go to like my website red pendam mining.com I got trusted links Asic sites and coupon codes here if you want to okay I don't care if you use it or not I'm just giving that disclaimer there because just to protect you okay now let's go to Aon post that I I I've been posting everywhere you guys can probably read this I already I already given the disclaimers here right I already mentioned that someone got scammed buying pretending to buy a ks5 from me and he sent 32,000 in crypto to this person and he lost it all I just can't believe it I just can't believe it this is this is happening to this day okay so I got a couple of screenshots here I want to show you guys okay so Instagram all right I have an Instagram and there's a there's a lot of people who make fake accounts and try to pretend to be me okay my Instagram account is instagram.com red panda mining all right red panda mining all right is my username here okay I don't have an i or an L sometimes people fake this here okay I can actually Show You by this post here okay so uh be careful of the usernames that are faking the eyes and L's for example my username on Instagram is red panda Mining and someone who tries to message you is named red panda m with an with with an l and then n i n g mining right this is not an i this is actually a lowercase L all right so some people have been scammed by just simply by that okay which is horrible okay so another thing to be mindful of like similar to uh Twitter X accounts same thing mine is @ red panda Mining and I will never message you first okay never try to sell you anything all right so there are accounts out there that are red p and then m l n l n g okay that they replace the two i's with L's you know to fake it okay so another thing okay just to show you like an example of a scam uh someone just sent me a screenshot yeah the current Revenue in Euros I have Carlos uh I've got some units running in my basement not really profitable though so this is someone pretending to be me uh yeah I have a couple of gold shell K box I'm willing to let go as I said earlier stated fairly used but in perfect condition do you want a unit package surprise giving away bitman S21 but this will be after the Bitcoin having next month you can still apply and they're using my giveaway link to pretend to be legit which is just which is just horrible okay but going along okay so there's another screenshot here welcome yeah you'll get the tracking number once it's shipped this will help in track the progress of their minor so the guy like sent him the crypto and says yeah there's a tracking number I'll give it to you soon and that that it's gone he's not going to get it back he's never going to respond after that okay so another one here this is from uh Mr NADA Network he got a there's a fake red panda mining on Discord okay I want to explain how you guys can differentiate okay discord's another big platform where there's a lot of scammers and spammers and a lot of people don't know how to differentiate if it's real or not okay and it's very easy to do I'm going to show you guys how to do this in a second but let me just read you know this example here of a fake red panda mining okay or just example all right so this guy says hi so this guy messages me pretending to be me which I never if this is not me all right uh hello seems you are new to my Discord server says yes long time ago do you know about our blockchain question mark he says all right you're welcome red penda mining community that yeah I would never say something like that uh not like that uh thanks for being a part of our community our goal here is to create a worldwide community of like-minded traders who interact and learn from one another yeah I don't do trading we're not a trading community so that's a red flag right there he says I will advise you to disable direct message and request from Member it helps for security of your Discord account and spam messages impersonators yeah I this is this Does this does not talk like me all right kindly ensure to turn off receipts for direct messages from server members on Discord on your Discord privacy and safety settings okay also turn off receiving friend requests from all groups on all your friend yeah I would never say something like this never he said check check your profile March 16 2024 so good this Houdini NADA team is doing his due diligence and he's saying that this account here was created March 16th 2024 says oh yes that's not the real date check it very well yeah I would never say that okay so here we go I'm on my Discord here all right we are going to rightclick my name go to profile and uh hold on we're we're going to disable streamer mode here Pro profile all right my account here has been since April 15th 2020 all right but anyone could you know make an account since April 15th 2020 but here's the real okay here's the real way to figure out if you know it is a you know if I'm fake or not okay red panda which again I will never message you all right I just have to say that many times you have to copy the user ID this is how you figure out all right and my ID is starts with 70017 8771 15501 42474 that's my main Discord account here okay so now this is where you guys are going to figure out um you know for yourselves this is how you guys will be able to figure out if I am real or not like I can right click like you guys will be able to right click anyone's name okay and just go copy user ID anyone can do that okay on Discord all right but you have to enable the developer mode okay so how to enable enable in developer mode I have this link down below as well you have to go to the Cog wheel then go to user settings Advanced and then you just have to tap developer mode it's it's it's very easy okay you just go like this it's just follow this here enable developer mode Advanced developer mode now I just showed you but how do you find the user ID so I just showed you you just have to rightclick the user and top on C copy user ID okay so not only are you able to see the date of when you know the profile was created but a secondary way to you know figure out if it's real or not is the ID okay copy user ID it's this is very very important to figure out you know what their IDs are and uh yeah the new like someone's scammer is going to be some different number and that's not real that's not me okay so just due diligence guys if you're on my Discord or anyone others Discord you know it's it's most likely a scam I will never ever message you first okay all right guys just please due diligence okay all right so a couple more things I wanted to explain here hopefully you guys are still watching till the end I like using Brave browser okay you don't have to but it's not sponsored bra Brave browser already inherently blocks like advertising and stuff so if you're going to buy you know you're you're searching like bitmain s9j or sorry bitmain S21 you're not going to get a sponsored you're not going to get the sponsored ads um like with Google Chrome okay so if I'm in Google Chrome here all right I'm in Google Chrome here um buy bitmain S21 or buy bitmain s9j you're going to see the sponsored look Asic minor Asic miners us.com I don't know if that's real or not right this I've never heard of that domain before see so uh sponsor globalsources.com wholesale bitmain s19 products okay this is that's that's very scary mop.
Is real I know them right um says sponsored here so he pays for advertising on Google right so like just you know just do diligence guys just make sure you do your own research don't just go out there and you're you're going to see the lowest price on an ice River it's fake okay like this website ice rivers. is fake this ks3 L is not 10,899 that is completely fake all right make sure you go to the official website or other websites that are out there official means um like red pendam mining.com go to my trusted Hardware sites hard shops and you can see all the official links and uh coupon codes uh here all right guys so I think that's really it I wanted to go through all of that um just just beware okay buying crypto mining Hardware right now there's a lot of scams a lot of spams out there um just due diligence I will never ask you I'll never sell you anything ask you for crypto or anything like that please don't get scammed okay all right guys this is just a PSA video hopefully someone has learned something especially with the Google uh searches this is very this is a very big a big problem right a lot of domains there that are faking the real domains okay like ice River all right ice river.
