Faked news articles appear online promoting cryptocurrency schemes
Faked news articles appear online promoting cryptocurrency schemes People urged not to be taken in by counterfeit 'investment opportunities' which appear to be news articles but are hosted on phony platforms and include fake quotes from the Welsh Government (Image: PA) Fake news articles are appearing online which promote cryptocurrency schemes - some of which are designed to look like genuine WalesOnline articles and featuring phony BBC footage. Links for the articles have surfaced on Facebook to readers with headlines such as 'Online platforms allow investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies' and 'Now anyone can become an investor'. One article, made to look like a genuine WalesOnline article but with the url ending with even had a picture of First Minister Eluned Morgan and a made-up 'interview' between her and journalists. The quote 'this is a special investment system, supported by the state and designed for the earnings of ordinary Welsh citizens' is attributed to her, but the First Minister has not said this and the interview is fake. Another fake article made to look like it was published on WalesOnline, complete with the website's usual logo at the top of the page, had the headline 'Welsh Government launches state investment platform', inviting people to 'safely invest and multiply their capital threshold'. This is categorically a fake advertisement and people who see such items or articles on Facebook or on any other social media platform are advised not to click on the link, and certainly not to sign up to any investments offered within it. Article continues below A spokesman for the Welsh Government said: 'This is a fake advert. We notified the Advertising Standards Authority last month and they had it taken down immediately. "We would never ask people to invest money, and we ask anyone who spots similar fake adverts to report them to us or the Advertising Standards Authority.' WalesOnline Editor David James said: 'There are fake articles circulating which appear to be news pieces encouraging people to invest in cryptocurrency schemes. "One of these articles has been designed to look as if it is on WalesOnline. It is being promoted on Facebook and claims that the scheme is backed by the Welsh Government. 'We would urge readers to look at the url of an article if they are concerned about its legitimacy.
