The "Genuine Simulation" A380 scam is taking a step further, don't fall for it !

[Oli_NLS 39]

Update: the physical server is located in Germany, however, the webspace was sold through a reseller abroad. Genuine Simulation now has 24 hours to respond and to legitimate what they are doing - otherwise, the provider will delete their website.

 

I am so happy to see that something positive is going on now...

And now back to the usual release date questions!!!   :lol:

If they setup a paypal page, it will be filled with disputes later on so they won't be able to get away with the money that easy.

 

If they convince people to send CC details on email, that's a little different. Anyone tried the 'contact us' to see if the scammers respond to that?

 

Should have added it in my first post:

 

Go here  -> https://www.facebook.com/genuinesimulation

 

Hit the report button and select 'scam' -> send. -Done.

I already reported yesterday,surprised that it's still there.

Just in case anyone had any doubts... AVSIM has not even heard of these guys (guy?), let alone given them any kind of an award.

[KriVa 307]

Don't worry, Tom. I don't think anyone was doubting that.... Not even my 1 year old niece.

[Tom Allensworth 1,532]

See the AVSIM Front Page. We will put this on the Wall of Shame listings as soon as Oli gives us a write up.

Don't worry, Tom. I don't think anyone was doubting that.... Not even my 1 year old niece.

 

I was pretty sure that was at least 99.9% true. But, that 1/10 of 1 percent are gullible or are constantly looking to have ammo to shoot our way. :Big Grin:

[Oli_NLS 39]

Thanks for posting that up on the main page, Tom!

I will make the report as soon as I am through with all this...

 

Thanks a lot for the support so far!

Really? Not quite 1:1, since GS seems to have promoted Dubai to be the 52nd State? :LMAO:

Well that`s a (sham) shame. I downloaded this aircraft, and I have to say the realism is ultra-amazing. Heck, when I switch views to the cabin to have a drink and watch TV, the FA`s even ask me for my credit card again! Not sure what my bill is going to look like after all of this, though. Now if that`s not realistic, I don`t know what is !!!

While the "website" has now been taken down, the Facebook page is still operational, despite what have undoubtedly been many, many reports having been made.
