Stay alert to Cryptocurrency scams
As interest in digital currencies continues to grow, so do the number of scams targeting people who are curious about investing in cryptocurrency. Fraudsters often use professional‑looking social media adverts promoting financial services, such as help with cryptocurrency or stock trading. These adverts may feature celebrity endorsements or personal testimonials — but in many cases, the celebrities have no idea their image is being used.
Scammers may pose as “financial advisers” from genuine‑looking trading platforms. They often show fake profit statements to convince victims that small initial investments have already made impressive returns. These claims are false.

How Cryptocurrency, investment & WhatsApp scams work
Scammers may contact you through social media and quickly move the conversation to WhatsApp. They rely on fabricated screenshots, AI‑generated content and fake profit figures to appear credible. You may be encouraged to take out a loan and transfer the money to a third party with the promise of a “guaranteed return”.
These returns do not exist.
