It's confirmed BetterCallRaul.it rug pulled and scammed us 0.05836495 BTC which they were supposed to spend in their signature campaign. I was considering, it's just a normal delay from them being busy (like sometimes it happen with many projects that are marketing their brand from few weeks and paying regularly, but eventually they pay) but it seems it was planned from them not to spend anymore but to take the chance of free advertising and close the business. I am glad that I paused the campaign as fast as I could or the scammed amount could be more.

A negative feedback from me on the process with the reference of this post.
As a campaign manager it's hard to make quick decision and conclude a brand that you are working, has rug pulled and scammed. If the manager is wrong then it will effect dangerously to the brand image which could be an unforgivable mistake for the profession we are in. However, a regular forum member can do it very easily. If it turns out a mistake from them then they don't have to answer anyone or not liable to answer anyone. But for a campaign managers point of view, it needs concrete evidence before standing against a brand that they are paid to increase the brand value. It takes time to collect evidences and be 100% sure from all possible sources we have before concluding a case. I hope it clears some doubt of why I did not act quickly to call it a scam. But now, there are no hesitation to declare that it's a scam.
It's a shame, and highly low value moral from whoever behind the BetterCallRaul.it project.
I created this separate thread to discuss all investigation here so that other people know their scam and learn lesson from this case.
Can you update the main thread with the link of the flag please?
