4. Impersonation Scam: Scammers pose as celebrities, influencers, or companies offering money giveaways,victims are asked to send money with the promise of receiving more money in return, which never happens, a friend of mine has fallen victim to this, someone impersonated Elon musk and told him his doing a giveaway he did a fake video call with my friend and told him to first of all send money to a particular account using Bitcoin and his going to send him 10 time's the money his sent.


Stay safe


The thing is no matter how many times you say this, people are still going to fall victims. But it’s important to know that no celebrity will ask you to send him/her money before they’ll send you giveaway no matter the X times they promise, you should just know that this is a BIG RED FLAG 🚩 and make a U-turn in your conversation or dealings. Where it’s a big problem is when celebrities are Used to promote scam projects, cause we know most celebrities are ambassadors of this and that and when we see them post or promote these projects then it becomes more convincing. Someone who wouldn’t want to invest might just invest now coz he believes a celebrity is supporting it.
We just need more celebrities to come out like KANYE WEST when they’re being sort for such activities
