Celebrities continue to be the chosen target of crypto scammers. This time, British TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal is the one reportedly making phoney endorsements for a get-rich-quick investment in Bitcoin.
The former Celebrity Big Brother and X-Factor star put out a warning on Saturday about a bogus interview doing the rounds.
Writing on Twitter, Clark-Neal said a “fake interview” purportedly from British tabloid The Daily Mirror was reportedly circulating on Facebook, claiming the celebrity “made millions from bitcoin.”

“Don’t fall for it,” he said.
Fake celebrity endorsements are nothing new in the world of crypto scams. Earlier this month, cyber-criminals put out an advert falsely using the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to endorse “cryptocurrency auto-trading program Bitcoin Evolution” that could turn “anyone into a millionaire within three to four months.”
And the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Elon Musk and Bill Gates have all been selected by crooks to make phoney endorsements online in a bid to steal from gullible would-be investors.
Even Kate Winslet’s name was falsely used in a dodgy Bitcoin-related project.
More worrying is when real news outlets fall for the scams themselves and publish such adverts. It’s no wonder the cyber-criminals are so effective.
Last year the UK financial watchdog put out a warning after calculating people had lost £27 million ($34 million) from dealing on fraudulent trading platforms.
We probably don’t need to warn the readers of Decrypt, but if something looks too good to be true—it’s probably because it is.

The company said the move aims to provide it with increased “financial flexibility” to capitalize on emerging opportunities within the Solana ecosystem, according to a filing on Tuesday. In other words, the move will allow SOL Strategies to prepare for potential capital raises, al...
Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. bashed the traditional finance system and championed the U.S.' pro-crypto pivot and their own digital asset endeavors on Wednesday at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas—underscoring the Trumps' growing enmeshment with the cryptocurrency community, despite critics' concerns over conflicts of interest posed by the First Family's embrace of the industry. The two eldest sons of U.S. President Donald Trump touted the U.S.' foray into Bitcoin and other cryptocurr...
Online trading platform eToro announced on Wednesday that it has added 12 cryptocurrencies to its U.S. platform, expanding its digital asset offerings in the country after sharply scaling back its presence last year due to regulatory constraints. The new tokens available to U.S. users include Cardano, Dogecoin, XRP, and Shiba Inu, among others, bringing the total number of listed assets from three to 15. These tokens join Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash, the only crypto assets the firm offe...
