WARNING. THIS IS A SCAM BY CRIMINALS TRYING TO STEAL MONEY. PLS SHARE.

This is frightening, it's the first deep fake video scam I've seen with me in it. Govt & regulators must step up to stop big tech publishing such dangerous fakes. People'll lose money and it'll ruin lives.

Doubleme

This stuff has been around for ages the whole bitcoin super trader thing. it was obviously a scam from the get go, if I somehow made or came into possession of a trading bot that could turn a few hundred pounds into near £10000 in a month and continue making that sort of buck consistently I would not share it with the world. Who would? I certainly would not share it all over the internet such a thing would be kept top secret.

I would treat that as top secret and a thing I shared with no one. The thing that shocks me is that anyone believes this?

I think the scariest scam I ever saw was an email from a source pretending to be amazon telling me I had bought a product which I had not it looked authentic all the way through. But my bank balance showed nothing came out. the email gave instructions on how to cancel if not me, which would have been phishing. What was scarier is it listed a number of products that were specific interests to me which showed somehow the bot or whatever had data on me. That scam could potentially have worked but fortunately It did not get me.

scams are getting stronger with bots and the future is scary but auto bitcoin trader I dont know why it ever succeeds.
