Amazing! Scammers are still on the loose!
This was just passed on to me on Facebook - copied to some 90 other Users
this is a screenshot of the leading image from the web page the Facebook post links to
Here is the link to the Fake page that is supposedly from the German Bild Magazin:
Dieser Mega-Deal bei „Die Höhle der Löwen“ kann sogar SIE reicher machen!
BUT PLEASE BEWARE - THIS IS A SCAM
It is in German, because of geo-tagging - I live in Vienna, and I get a lot of targeted ads in German.
It took me a while to find my posts from 5 months ago, since up to this day, the search function on Hive (and previously Steemit) does not work anymore. So I had to scroll through my many old posts.

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!
My follow-up post (both in English and German):

Abzocke mit gefälschten Promi-Finanztipps
Seit einigen Monaten geistern Anzeigen durchs Netz, in denen angeblich die geheimen Finanztipps von Prominenten gelüftet werden. Geworben wird etwa mit Red-Bull-Chef Dietrich Mateschitz und dem ORF-Moderator Armin Wolf. Wer sich den versprochenen schnellen Reichtum erwartet, wird enttäuscht. Die mit dem Inserat verknüpften Links führen in eine Betrugsfalle.

Bitcoin Optimizer Review
We have received a lots of complains regarding this scam software. This is why we are making a review about Bitcoin Optimizer. After having tested and evaluated the different characteristics of Bitcoin Optimizer, we can confirm that Bitcoin Optimizer is a scam auto trading robot. During our test, we deposited $250 and within a few hours, we lost it all. We saw similar results when testing scams platforms like Bitcoin Fast Profit and Bitcoin Champion.
