Filed 19 Jun 2021 by SaintGermain

I was looking for the official account of Dfinity Token (ICP) online then i came across a group on Telegram which fronted as the offical group for Dfinity Token(https:t.meDfinityofficialgroup) when I wanted to buy more ICP tokens and wanted to check on telegram what the current news is. I came across this group with active members praising the token and thanking people for a giveaway. I saw a 7,000 member group (Now 5000) and with screenshots of receiving tokens, i decided to participate and connected my wallet hoping to receive 1.15ETH bonus based on my initial deposit. I was told it failed so i borrowed money to try again and found out that another story was concocted by the help desk that there’s an issue with my wallet.

I decided to make further investigations and noted that the contract address was receiving tokens and spamming the homepage as giving out tokens. Realized that the so called members , they’re all in on the act to give a false sense of security. Then there’s the Admin there as well.

I ran into a man Francisco while trying to prevent others from falling into the same trap and he informed me that he made a deposit of 1000 XRP tokens and the same story was told to him as well. I put a call to him and he informed me that he’s from Columbia and he’s trying to make money to start a business. That’s what we are, trying to start businesses legitimately despite rough situations and having people take them away.

I also discovered that he bought a domain name and he’s trying to scale his operations. From my discovery, the said individual is in IMO state Nigeria as that’s the whois data he possesses. Also the hosting company is apparently hostinger and they’ll have his details.
