Despite what many people may have read, Kroger is not going to start accepting Bitcoin Cash.
The grocery chain made that very clear on Friday (Nov. 5), the same day that an apparently bogus announcement about its stores accepting the cryptocurrency appeared on PRNewswire, a service many businesses use to share official news.
As Bloomberg News reported, this was the second such scam in as many months.
“This communication was fraudulent and is unfounded and should be disregarded,” Kroger said.
