FiatFlo bots flooding BHW with spamming self-promotion garbage

I'd generally use the ''report'' button, but this is a massive case, there are several accounts involved.

''FiatFlo'' seems to be a payment gateway for black hat industries like replica or scammy shits with huge chargeback rates, I don't know if it's legit or if it's just a scam (very likely), but their domain was registered three months ago, not a solid business and they are flooding the shit out of our beautiful forum.

Hell, look at that...the username are in most cases a name + number, like a pattern (Henry1981, Felix23, etc)






And there is more and more... @PetraAnn and other mods, to make your job even easier, I will mention some users below, so you can check their (extremely) suspicious activity and take proper actions. But since today, you guys can start searching for ''fiatflo'', as new profiles are appearing everyday and tomorrow there will be new shitty bots promoting this garbage again.

14 profiles recommending an unknown company in 48h is really weird

Their cheapest setup plan is $100, I can already imagine what they are doing

Good catch. Hopefully Mods quickly purge them and their posts so nobody falls for this.

Thank you for opening this thread.

Please do not tag staff members in a thread like this... they are all aware of it and do not need more alerts.

I see this and will look into them when I have time.

Hey everyone, I don’t think my name should be listed here. I’m actually using their services, and for proof, I’ve attached a screenshot. I’m not sure about their marketing, but I can definitely recommend them.

Hey, this is the founder of FiatFlo, and I’d like to address everything clearly:

1st Marketing on BHW
I instructed my team to go all-in on marketing on forums, and they adapted accordingly to keep everything running. We will stop all marketing efforts on BHW, and I have taken measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

2nd Our Service
We provide a legitimate service, offering a way for people who can’t process payments through traditional methods to do so securely. We have been in business for over three years, initially operating solely through Telegram without a website, but a few months ago, we decided to scale and expand our operations.

3rd High Fees
We charge high fees due to the nature of our service, ensuring we onboard only loyal and high-volume customers who need a reliable processing solution.

Conclusion
We will cease all marketing efforts on BHW and are open to discussions with BHW to explore traditional marketing approaches that benefit everyone.

Thank you,
Founder of FiatFlo

I would like more information on how we can upgrade and understand the promotion policies. It would also be really appreciated if you could change the title and not refer to us as a scam or "garbage." I would love for you to try FiatFlo as well. I was totally unaware of how the marketing was being handled on the forums my partner sent me this post, and I’ve taken appropriate action to address the issue.



Thank you for pointing this out. We will fully cooperate with the rules of the forum.

I instructed my team to go all-in on spamming on forums, and they spammed accordingly to keep everything running. We will stop all spamming efforts on BHW, and I have taken measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

There is a fine line between marketing and "fake" positive feedback/review/recommendation spams in attempts for leads/clicks/attention
If that is your marketing team, boy, I sincerely wish you the best.

A proper "marketing" approch would be of been
- Doing what @funki said, Purchase the correct membership and opening an BST
- Purchase onsite ads to be placed on BHW
- Purchase email ads

Lies + Spamming = Marketing


This guy is posting about FiatFlo everywhere.


He said he has been using it for 1 month several days ago, and yesterday he said he has been using the service for a long time.


Refer the pic below


The reason why I'm sensitive to scammers is because I've been scammed many times and lost a total of $3,000+.


Today scammers reported my reply that was proving it was a scam, and the manager gave me a warning/limitation. It's really hunting of scammerhunber.


I have an idea at this point. If you pay and don't upgrade your account, you won't be able to write comfortably, even if it's a post that doesn't break the rules.

I think a sign-up greeting or a simple emotional comment is just fine.

I'm making a lot of money, but I'm not feeling the need to spend money here yet.

Guys, Make money and upgrade your account.
