    Exclamation Fake GPWA accounts

    Hello all,

    Hope everyone is having a great day, for a Monday.

    Wanted to report another impersonator, targeting me now.

    Using GPWA logo & my display name: GPWA/APCW ~ Anthony
    The fake skype account ID
    live:.cid.80018d2fc5410f41

    There has already been people who are accepting invitations from the fake account, the person reporting it showed the account had several mutual contacts.


    My real skype ID: anthony.telesca

    Please feel free to verify any contact via email: anthony [at] gpwa(.)org


    I have been reaching out to Maria's contacts since her passing and I guess someone thought it would be a perfect opportunity for fraud. Really sad.
    I am here to help if you have any issues with an affiliate program.

    Some Bob via Telegram was contacting us to sell positions on different GPWA websites. His Telegram ID: @BCGAME_B0B

    And he is pretty sure about that Michael https://www.gpwa.org/member/michaelcorfman could confirm that he is one of representatives of GPWA.

    ALWAYS check directly with the person supposedly represented here at the forum.

    And Anthony or myself can help verify anyone you are talking to is the person you should be discussing things with.

    You can also request email contact using a gpwa.org email address.

    I can confirm that he is NOT a representative of the GPWA.

    Indeed, Anthony, it's very sad. The number of scammers has increased and they're getting more desperate, to lure as many unsuspecting victims as possible, to steal whatever they can from them. Very disgusting to say the least. One can never be too careful, with these parasites.

    What's the point? To fake an account?

    Financial gain.

    Will not go into detail of how people can take advantage of others using fake accounts, we just want to stress why it is very important to verify the person you are dealing with does in fact have authorization to act on behalf of the parties or sites being represented.
