[UPDATED] GrapheneOS Organization Asks The Community For Help With Stopping a Scam That Is Scamming People and Impersonating GrapheneOS (grapheneos.social)

There's a site impersonating the GrapheneOS project for scamming people (grapheneos dot fr). GrapheneOS does not currently sell phones or work with any company/individual selling phones.

We strongly recommend using the very easy to use web installer: https://grapheneos.org/install/web.

The site is hosted via Wix and uses Tucows as the domain registrar.

Tucows permits using their services for scamming, impersonation, harassment, etc. until they get a court order to stop doing it (https://tucows.com/news/why-tucows-doesnt-take-down-domains-for-website-content-issues) so that's a dead end.

Do we know anyone at Wix?

Wix has taken down the site, but nothing has been done about the domain by Tucows or AFNIC yet. They may simply point the domain at another host. We'll continue trying to get AFNIC to deal with it. We're currently aware of 8 grapheneos.tld domains people registered...

Tucows are right to not take matters into their own hands. Report it to the Google scam website database, or try and get a court order if you really want to go that route.
