Important Update: Addressing Impersonation Scams and the Recent Shuffle Casino Situation

We recently encountered a challenging situation involving impersonation scams on Telegram and issues related to Shuffle Casino. We’re committed to transparency and protecting our community, so we want to share the details and the steps we’re taking to resolve this matter.

The Impersonation Scam

Over the past weekend, we discovered a series of impersonation scams targeting both our team and our partners. These scammers have created fake accounts and groups on Telegram, posing as BTCGOSU members, including myself (efialtis), to deceive others. They also created fake accounts and groups on Telegram pretending to be Shuffle employees.

Communication Issues

Initially, we were in contact with someone impersonating Noah, the owner of Shuffle Casino. This fake account led us to believe that the control of Shuffle Casino had changed hands and that significant financial losses had occurred. The impersonator even tipped money to our Shuffle account to appear legitimate, which added to the confusion.

Real Noah Steps In

After a period of intense and confusing communications, the real Noah reached out to us. Here’s a summary of our conversation and the key points discussed:

• Scammer Activity: Scammers impersonated both BTCGOSU and Shuffle Casino staff, creating multiple fake groups and accounts. They deceived Shuffle Casino’s staff, resulting in financial losses.
• Verification and Resolution: Noah confirmed that Shuffle Casino remains under his control and that no ownership changes have occurred. The scammer exploited the situation, causing confusion and spreading misinformation.
• Restoring Accounts: After verifying our identity and discussing the events, Noah re-enabled our affiliate account. He assured us that steps are being taken to prevent such incidents in the future.

Our Stance

At BTCGOSU, our priority is to ensure the safety and trust of our community. We acted swiftly to raise awareness and prevent further scams. While the situation was confusing and distressing, we’re committed to providing accurate information and maintaining our ethical standards.
