Title: [Scam] Bitrefill token- fake version of Bitrefill Post by: Rikafip on January 18, 2020, 12:58:05 PM What happened: Bitrefill Token is a rip off of Bitrefill, platform for gift card purchase. They are trying to use their name to sell their useless tokens. When you click on "buy token" it leads to Livecoin exchange where they are trying to sell their CTF tokens

This is good because the scamer has been caught and I am sure there will be many people who know and are keen to see the site. Title: Re: [Scam] Bitrefill token- fake version of Bitrefill Post by: dkbit98 on January 18, 2020, 07:48:57 PM Good finding OP.

Report it to Mod to ban that account + report to Google[1] as a phishing URL of Bitrefill. This scammer not only sells tokens, but also uses Bitrefill reputation to scam others.

Hopefully, they issue a warning now that they're aware of the situation.

I contacted Bitrefill as well, after i stumbled upon this , but seems like their bitcointalk account is offline for a few days now, and nothing so far in their social media. As you said, they should issue some warning to protect their users. |
