iFUEL FALSIFIED PHOTOS WITH COMPANY LOGOS ON FUEL TRUCKS. IN FACT, THE COMPANY IS ONLY A RESELLER
As the administration of the Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO found out, the company iFUEL AG falsified numerous photos of fuel trucks and other airfield equipment with IFuel logos for use in advertising campaigns.
By analyzing the photos presented by iFuel on its corporate website, as well as in numerous interviews with the company's founder Rinad El-Rabaa, which were paid for as advertising materials, the administrators of BLACKLIST.AERO and other participants in the aviation market managed to find the originals of the photos, but without the iFuel logos.
Thus, with the help of falsifications, the company iFuel created a false impression among its clients that it is an Into-Plane Agent at airports. In fact, as BLACKLIST.AERO managed to find out, iFuel AG is nothing more than an ordinary aviation fuel reseller, not standing out from hundreds of other similar companies.
This method of promoting the company is "Deliberate Misleading Consumers about the Quality of the Product".
In connection with the exposure of this fact of unfair competition, the administration of the BLACKLIST.AERO Registry calls on iFUEL to voluntarily remove the company logo from photos in which this logo was not originally and could not be due to the above circumstances.
“What are you doing?! We all spent tens of thousands of dollars to attract attention to our companies at the exhibition, and you just by making one post on LinkedIn turn all the attention to yourself and these crooks whom you challenged to a battle! Now everyone is whispering only about it! Everyone has forgotten about the exhibition!”
This corporate conflict could have turned into a real war. Both sides appealed to BLACKLIST.AERO However, based on the circumstances of the conflict, we could not support either side.
Three months ago, I told a story about how fraudsters created a fake BLACKLIST.AERO page on X (former Twitter) with the goal of publishing any nonsense on it just to discredit our reputation. I laughed at this “innocent” idea and said that we need to prepare for much bigger provocations, using deepfake technology. And I was right!
The owner of UNITED AVIATION GROUP (South Africa) Jonathan Wolpe was arrested today in Johannesburg, as the editors of the Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO have just learnt.
