## What it is
A Node.js web application that serves a fake 'Comprovante' (payment receipt) page and exfiltrates the visitor's geolocation to an attacker-controlled Telegram bot via a /send-location endpoint. It is designed to be exposed to the internet through Ngrok and is functionally a phishing/social-engineering tool.

## Use cases
- track a device's location by luring the target to open a link
- send captured geolocation data to a Telegram chat via a bot
- host a deceptive page locally and expose it with Ngrok
- demonstrate how phishing-based location harvesting works
- run a social-engineering awareness demo

## When to choose
- you are a security educator demonstrating location-harvesting phishing techniques
- you want a minimal working example of Telegram bot exfiltration with Node.js
- you need a red-team style proof of concept for awareness training

## When to avoid
- you want to track someone without their informed consent - this is illegal in most jurisdictions
- you need a legitimate, consent-based location sharing solution
- you need a production-grade or maintained project - it has no license, minimal code, and manual token editing in source files
