Interesting thing to read on their website, as they claim that they don't charge anything and service is free,
but they don't tell you that  you will lose it all when you send them seed words!

I entered random unconfirmed transactions, and random words, and website 'fake confirmed' transaction instantly  ;D
Never send anyone your private key or seed words.

This is a new way to scam people now have never seen like this, this is to address newbies people who do not know how to accelerate their transactions, there was another kind of scam where they ask you your private key or passphrase so you can receive your airdrops worth thousands of dollars, so be informed on how these scammers work.

This is the system with which the information of the crypto user's wallet can be stolen. Those who do not know about such scams will give their passphrase / seed on this website to confirm their transaction. And those who are commenting have confirmed their transection using this service, they all belong to the same group, they are not real users. Domain registration and that of 2017, now that the market is green, they are coming back with their trap.
