Crypto Eats, the Uber Eats of cryptocurrencies that stole over $500K in just minutes

Food delivery services were already quite popular, but with the pandemic their importance increased. Thus, many companies saw a new business opportunity here. Now, adding this reality to cryptocurrencies, in the United Kingdom a business was created that promised competition to Uber Eats, but with payment options in cryptocurrencies: Crypto Eats. After promotion by various social media “influencers” and thousands of dollars in virtual currencies, the creators disappeared. Crypto-Eats.jpg Crypto Eats a Promising Business Through the internet, it is possible, with a quick search, to find some news in blogs dated last week that reveal the possibility of an early launch of a food delivery service app. Apparently, Crypto Eats would be launched in early 2022 as a delivery option that accepted virtual coins as a payment method. We were able to see that some of these news are available online, but we also found others that appear in searches but were deleted from the site. In addition to the news, some influencers also advertised the business to boost sales. There were even work uniforms for Crypto Eats couriers. Everything looked credible and last Sunday there was even an event to present the service and the launch of a new EATS Token that could be purchased by Binance Currencies (BNB) through decentralized exchanges. Theft of over 500,000 dollars within minutes As soon as the service was launched and the first purchases of EATS tokens began to be made, the creators disappeared, leaving more than 500,000 dollars in BNB on their side.

Not being an unprecedented case, the truth is that the speed with which everything happened is not without surprise. First a few rumors, then a press release, the launch of the service, getting the first customers and “puff”… disappear. All this in a few days. Influencers paid to promote the business have publicly distanced themselves from the scam done to customers, and they are also victims of this scam. Source:software Edson carneiro jn
