Crypto scammers are targeting Indians with a fake BBC report featuring clickbait headlines about Indian billionaire Anant Ambani. The article claims that Ambani has endorsed a lucrative crypto investment platform, Everix Edge, that can turn small investments into millions within months. The scam uses a fake article attributed to a former BBC journalist and impersonates the BBC News website. Users are directed to a suspicious cryptocurrency trading platform when clicking the link. The scam has been circulating since at least May 2024, and Indian authorities have taken action to block related websites. Similar scams involving impersonations of celebrities like Kate Winslet, Elon Musk, and Tim Cook have also been reported over the years.
