Yup, unfortunately it seems that we're facing organized fraud attempts. To protect our users, and the community at large, we have been doing whatever we can by:
- closing all reported links ASAP
- blacklisting all kinds of things (for obvious reasons i won't disclose what the triggers are)
- added 'unverified' for bunq.me links where we have not yet the identity of the requestor
All of this was executed/coded and put on production within 24-36 hours of first notification. Then when we saw that despite 'UNVERIFIED' people still mistakenly made transfers, we decided to kill bunq.me signup for non-bunq users as a temporary measure.
Keeping everyone safe is always our highest priority, I hope you can see how serious we take these unfortunate attempts to abuse our system, and how quickly and effectively we act.
Cheers,
Ali
