Greetings all!

First time writing here... But it has come to my attention that a new site has appeared with the UI of FreeBitco.in, https://bnbfree.in. I've been looking around and this page is rather new (the domain is 42 days old). What is odd to me is that it only allows Gmail email accounts. Does anyone have some information on this? Sorry if this question doesn't belong here.

UPDATE 1:
Upon further inspection, the EARN BNB section gives it away, because some words have not been "translated" to BNB... Screenshot: https://thumbs4.imagebam.com/9b/f6/6a/MERMZXG_t.png

It is interesting because it is a nearly identical clone and works in almost the exact way as FreeBitco.in. The fact they only allow Gmail addresses makes me suspect they are a phishing site trying to get FreeBitco.in users' credentials. If people want to create an account with a throwaway temporary email service, to test if they are legitimate, they wouldn't be able to and have to use Gmail instead, which is most people's primary email and the one they are most likely to use on FreeBitco.in.

My primary account is an old live.com mail account, at least the one I use for FBTC. I have a throwaway Gmail account, which is the one I used to test this site, upon rolling a few times it asks for the mail verification process, but the mail never arrives.

It would be nice for FBTC to state not being affiliated with this site (if that is the case), many people are saying that the creators of FBTC are the same ones behind this site, so if (most likely when) bnbfree is found to be a scam, it may, and most likely will, hurt FBTC reputation.
