The presenter interrupted the interview with Inma Cuesta and Luis Tosar to warn that many people are being scammed with their image
‘El Hormiguero’ received a visit this Tuesday from actors Inma Cuesta and Luis Tosar, who came to promote the premiere of the film in which they both star: ‘All the Names of God’. However, Pablo Motos had to interrupt the interview to give a warning to the audience.
“They are using my name saying that they have arrested me for revealing a secret with which you can earn a lot of money. It is a scam to get you to invest in bitcoins and a lot of people are falling,” detailed the presenter, who also confessed that he found out in a taxi rank, when a driver asked him if the trick worked.
The communicator explained what this practice consists of: “First, you put an amount on a fake platform, where it seems like you make quite a bit of money. They are asking you for more. When you want to get it out, you can’t. Then, he calls you a lawyer and tells you that he can help you, but that you have to pay him. Of course, this is also a lie.”
“Then a police officer calls you and tells you that you have invested fraudulently, for which you have to pay. And in this way they take all your money,” Motos communicated before the attentive gaze of the guests and denouncing the way of acting of Google, Facebook and Instagram: “When we called them, they told us that they can’t do anything because they have a lot of advertising volume.”
“What they can do is collect the millions of money that comes in, which I understand will have a source. Someone with a name and surname, a company, sends the money to someone who collects it. The one who sends it is the scammed onery Google, Facebook and Instagram should not be complicit in this. They should report it,” the presenter criticized.
The Valencian has been a victim of these scams on several occasions, and his frustration is that the complaints have not served to discover who is behind this practice, and he said that this time he has asked the Computer Crimes Unit for help. “In any case, I feel terrible. If you see this, don’t trust advertising disguised as news,” he concluded.
