Beware of Scam Websites Claiming to be Affiliated with RAKwireless
We’ve been made aware that some of our RAK customers have unfortunately fallen prey to unassuming fraudulent websites selling MNTD. Hotspots, RAK Hotspot V2, and other RAK products.
Be Wary of Unauthorized Resellers or Online Marketplaces
We do not recommend purchasing hotspots from unauthorized resellers or online marketplaces because it always carries a risk for the buyer (e.g. fraudulent products, voided warranties, etc).
Important note: If the website you are purchasing from uses cryptocurrency as its only mode of payment, it is most likely a scam.
