"YuanPay" is NOT China's Official Cryptocurrency - Fake Forbes Website(s) EXPOSED (+ a host that actually takes down scam sites?)

This is not a real Forbes article. It is an impersonation, created to promote the "YuanPay" cryptocurrency scam. Surprisingly, the free web host these scammers use, Netlify, is actually responding to my abuse reports, and is deleting these sites. ("These sites" because the scammers create multiple mirror versions of the same fake news page.) So, all you see now is this. As of the time of writing, however, the scammers are still creating more mirrors. The red flags are the usual: fake comments, an overtly-promotional tone that the real Forbes wouldn't use, and the very un-Forbes-like URL. Stay away from YuanPay Group, and don't believe everything you read on the Internet.
