Fake News Sites Fuel Global Investment Scams, CTM360 Warns
HomeNews* Fake news sites are being used to target investment scam victims in over 50 countries, according to Cybersecurity firm CTM360.
According to CTM360, the scams follow a two-part model. In phase one, the victim is lured through sponsored content and fake news stories. In phase two, the victim receives a phone call from a so-called advisor, is asked for identity documents, and may be required to deposit cryptocurrency for “account verification.” This process is intended to build trust and delay suspicion.
The BNS pages often use low-cost web addresses ending in .xyz, .click, or .shop. In some cases, real websites are compromised to host the scam, making removal more difficult. The scam content is highly localized, using the local language, notable personalities, and regional banks to increase credibility.
Most people encounter these scams when searching online for investment ideas or passive income, clicking on ads matched to high-intent searches such as “automated crypto trading” or “celebrity-backed investment.” Victims are typically asked to submit names, emails, and phone numbers. They may receive a follow-up call from an “investment agent” requesting a $240 U.S. dollar deposit to activate their accounts. Fake account dashboards then display imaginary profits, encouraging repeated investment.
Beyond financial loss, victims’ personal data is collected for further frauds, phishing, or identity theft. CTM360 links these tactics to broader schemes, including pig butchering scams and affiliate fraud networks.
The company’s full report offers an in-depth look at these campaigns. CTM360 continues to monitor the threat, offering takedown and risk mitigation services to affected organizations, and mapping scam tactics step-by-step through its Scam Navigator tool modeled after the MITRE framework.
