Another wave of crypto scams is once again using the name of a well-known entrepreneur. This time, scammers claim that Elon Musk is giving away money in the form of cryptocurrency totaling $20 million. However, a representative of the Dogecoin community, DogeDesigner, officially clarified: the creator of Tesla and SpaceX has no connection to such giveaways.
Scammers are actively using fake videos and deepfakes, passing them off as real statements from a well-known figure in the crypto world. The main danger is that these scams are becoming increasingly convincing and can deceive even experienced users.
Experts recommend: - Verify information only through official channels - Remember that Musk giving away money via cryptocurrency is a common scam scheme - Do not click on suspicious links even if the video appears authentic - Be skeptical of promises of instant wealth
Stay vigilant and do not fall for tricks by scammers using popular names and crypto assets.
