Scam Alerts (REMINDER)

As a quick reminder, our official telegram channels are:

• CHAT: https://t.me/RightMesh_Official
• ANNOUNCEMENTS: https://t.me/rightmeshannouncements

There have been a number of imposters accounts within the RightMesh channel that are pretending to be RightMesh admin. These fake admin are direct messaging our community members requesting funds, email addresses and personal information.

DO NOT SEND FUNDS TO ADDRESSES WHICH YOU DID NOT RECEIVE ON THE BITCOIN SUISSE PLATFORM.

The fake users send out false emails from what appears to be a rightmesh.io address (as pictured below). The emails contain counterfeit URLs that redirect potential contributors to mirrored RightMesh websites and to the scammers wallets where they are conducting their own ICOs.

Do not be fooled by these scam emails!

RightMesh will NEVER solicit funds via Telegram, email, Twitter, our website, direct message or any form of social media. All contributions will be managed through the Bitcoin Suisse platform. Anyone who contacts you with a special offer or asks for you to send them crypto directly is trying to scam you.
