There is a lot of talk about crypto currency, and while it is a good thing, the scammers are not far behind. Please be careful: anything that looks too good to be true is most certainly a scam! The worse part is that they usually hijack a celebrity and make it look like they are endorsing it! Then if you google it there are tons of supposed rating websites that endorse this - a large network connected to the scammers! Websites like this here ThatsNonsense.com that expose such are hard to find and get lost in the sea of scam and fake sites.

Another site I found while researching had this to say:

Singapore’s Regulator Warns of New Scam Bitcoin Investment Scheme

In this article, they included a screenshot from the Monetary Authority of Singapore of one of the scams showing the former Prime Minister of Singapore supposedly endorsing it:

The latest scam I seen advertised on Facebook, (because of geotagging my location), was a supposed endorsement by Didi Mateschitz (the owner of Red Bull), and the link went to Bitcoin Loophole - which is not the first time, since they even have a page on Facebook since 2017: https://www.facebook.com/TheCryptoLoophole/ which is liked by 1952 brainless Facebook users, but then there is also a group with 9 (particularly dense?) members: https://www.facebook.com/groups/547767702244133/

Note: I should have copied that ad with Mateschitz, but now I can't find it anymore (likely timed out) but it looked as if it was a article in the "Krone" (deceptively masquerading as if it was the popular Kronenzeitung), saying that Austrian Banks are desperately trying to suppress these news, and Mateschitz was the one to bring it to the attention of the Austrian public because since he is a Billionaire, he wants everyone that sees this to become a Billionaire!

Here is another link https://cointelegraph.com/news/facebook-removes-bitcoin-scam-ads-with-abu-dhabi-crown-prince
in that article it says:

In January 2018, Facebook became the first major social media platform to ban cryptocurrency-related ads. The platform said at the time that it would ban ads that use “misleading or deceptive promotional practices,” while specifically mentioning initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies.

which is Facebook bullshit, since I seen the ad of Mateschitz endorsement just a couple days ago, plus the pages of these scammers exist unabated since 2017 at least!
