Over the years, the number of fraudulent individuals and groups posing as MicroBT and WhatsMiner representatives has grown significantly. These fake accounts often deploy a number of strategies that are usually intended to steal your money or personal data.

Unfortunately, as the individuals behind such fraud attempts usually conceal their identities and use multiple platforms to reach out to potential victims, we cannot help you if you have fallen victim to a phishing attack.

There are a few things you can do to protect yourself from impersonators.

1.Double-Check the URL or Username

The below 10 items are our only official MicroBT and WhatsMiner channels. We do not operate any other official channels:

MicroBT Website: microbt.com

WhatsMiner Website: whatsminer.com

Twitter: @WhatsMiner_MBT

Facebook:@WhatsMiner, @WhatsMiner Russian

Telegram Group: WhatsMiner Community

Telegram Channel: https://t.me/whatsminerofficialnews

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/whatsminer

WeChat Public Platform: 神马矿机

2. Know That MicroBT Staff Will Never DM You to Ask for Personal Information

Keep in mind that a real MicroBT representative will never message you directly to ask for personal information. If you receive a contact request trying to solicit information or payment details, the person trying to get in touch is an impersonator.

If you are unsure, please ask for help in our only official Telegram channel.

3. Only two websites of MicroBT provide the complete solution for e-commerce operations. The product sales contract can be automatically generated/displayed, and Hong Kong law is applicable. MicroBT believes in, abides by market rules, and is committed to maximizing respect and protection of the rights and interests of customers' online purchases.
