The pop-up advertisements on crypto investments make people believe that investing in them will offer an impressive return on investment and by using celebrities as a bait they make the viewer think that what they are getting into is legitimate.
Andre Vermeulen said that the reports of such scams are on the rise and many celebrities are also very upset that their name is being used to conduct such fraudulent activities.
Andre Vermeulen said that it is optimistic to think that people do not invest hundreds of euros in their first trial but the fact is that some people see that as a one-time opportunity and invest a lot of money into them
The Fraud Help Desk said that as of now almost two million dollars ($1.92 million) have been scammed out of investors.
