user5187: I'm thinking about ordering two 63 GH/s Bitcoin miner's from Anamurminers.com Also see: http://anamurminers.com/asic-miner. Can this company be trusted? They say they can ship two to the UK straight away.

user2167: Certainly nobody except the owner or local auditors can tell you if its a scam, all you can do is gather as much information as possible. Maybe the only real deal would be to visit the company locally or get documents that proof what they claim.
Concerning the website, its a very basic opencart shop one can setup in 30 minutes.
Below is what i got on a fast search.

user2306: There's no way this is legitimate.

Domain is less than a month old
All product photos can be found elsewhere on the web. http://www.stss.ru/products/workstations/tesla/RX240T8.2.html http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=product&prod=94
Address/phone number/name on Contact Us page differs from address/phone number/name on WHOIS record.
They say their miner connects over USB. However, they don't have any drivers for it on their website, or say what OS it works with.
They said that they're too busy to take a video, or post an non stock-photo image, but they would in a week. They said that 10 days ago.
They claimed that they designed, wrote, sourced, soldered, and tested the whole thing, front to back, in 3 weeks. Then somebody on bitcointalk pointed that out, and now it took them 3 months! Still implausible, though. Unless you're willing to pay insane markups, your shortest turnaround time on an ASIC is around 6 months, and that's if you already have your design done.
They offer local pickup (in the Czech Republic)
This gem:

Due to Czech law, we MUST, give you back your money even after 14 days, if you are not satisfied with the product.   

I doubt that.

So yeah. Scam. I'm guessing that Antonio Barreto is the brains of the operation, and Anamur Silif is the fall guy.
