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?

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.

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.
