What is a fake celebrity endorsement scam in crypto?

Scammers use fabricated endorsements from celebrities like Elon Musk or Warren Buffett to promote fraudulent crypto schemes. Ads may appear on social media, fake news sites, or even hacked verified accounts. Victims are lured into sending funds to wallets or shady platforms, believing they are linked to celebrities. Legitimate investors rarely promote specific tokens or platforms directly. The best defense is skepticism—verify official sources and never invest based solely on celebrity claims.
