Someone imitated our website, our articles and scammed a lot of people with fake gift cards discounts.
We're in no way connected with cryptonews.us.

What may seem obvious is usually how so many get roped in,its really basic scams that are the most successful.
Sucks these scammers never miss a beat and take advantage of the crazy holiday. Think google can do a hell of a lot better in looking at these sites that copy similar site names.

I was warning last month about these black Friday bitcoin sites, they are around every year trying to steal bitcoin.  sorry to hear you lost out, but thanks for warning others.

The domain name is obviously different, so i don't understand how can anyone tricked.
Also, why didn't you do research by google it or ask another member in this forum?

no question, my own stupidity - I think it was the supporting fake news site that sold it -

I've bought gift cards from gyft with bitcoin so the buygyft.com seemed right...

after waiting for 4 confirms - I did google it - nothing really...

someone needs to develop a registry site for these shitbags.

anyone in Chicago or Panama want to pay a visit to these fucks?
