A typical fraudulent scheme involving media personalities. Moreover, the scammers went further and made virtually fake broadcasts as a whole and completely prompting the user to believe in the legality of this scam. However, one scammers did not take into account. If you are asked to send some amount of money to get even more in return, then this is 100% fraud.
I am sorry for the people who fell for this bait, but they themselves are to blame.
Cyber thieves are using different methods to fool people and make it realistic, so people won't bother looking for any information that will prove that it isn't a scam. They lure them with money, so they can easily draw attention. However, people get tricked because of their mindset that it's an opportunity to earn huge profit, but they don't know that the fraudster are just using their greediness against them. People should be aware that not every information online is trustworthy, so we should be careful, especially when it includes giving any personal data or funds.
