<p>As FamGateway has grown in popularity among developers and merchants, several unauthorized clones and scam websites have appeared online. These malicious actors attempt to trick users into signing up for fake payment gateways.</p>
      
      <div class="highlight">
        CRITICAL WARNING: Domains such as <strong>famgateway.online</strong> and <strong>fampaygateway.site</strong> are NOT affiliated with the official FamGateway (famgateway.in) or the Aryanispe ecosystem. They are unauthorized scams.
      </div>

      <h2>The Danger of Unofficial Sites</h2>
      <p>When you integrate a payment gateway, you are trusting it with extremely sensitive financial and email data. Using a scam site puts you and your customers at severe risk:</p>
      
      <h3>1. Data Compromise</h3>
      <p>Fake gateways often log and steal the App Passwords you provide, granting them unauthorized access to your private emails. The official FamGateway employs strict, zero-retention IMAP filtering. Scammers do not.</p>

      <h3>2. They Charge Money (We Are Free)</h3>
      <p>Many of these fraudulent sites attempt to sell you a "paid plan" or charge integration fees. The official FamGateway is designed by developers, for developers, and its core API is 100% free.</p>

      <h3>3. Zero Legal Accountability</h3>
      <p>These scam websites are operated anonymously. If they steal your data or drop your payments, you have absolutely zero legal recourse. They can disappear overnight.</p>

      <h2>The Official Guarantee</h2>
      <p>To ensure your payments are secure, <strong>always verify you are on the official domain: famgateway.in</strong>.</p>
      <p>The real FamGateway is a legitimate, government-recognized platform built by Aryan Gupta (Aryanispe). We are officially registered under the <strong>Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India (Reg: UDYAM-BR-28-0050000)</strong>.</p>
