🚫 Fox News Reporter: Beware of Fake BlackRock Token Sale Scam!
Fox News reporter Eleanor Terrett published a post on X clarifying that there was an article using her name and Fox News' official images to promote a non-existent BlackRock Token (BRT) presale project.
This fake report claims that the world's largest asset management company, BlackRock, has launched a token presale that sounds impressive, but is actually a big trap!
This scam even created a fake website "BlackRockToken[.]net" to lure you into participating in the so-called presale. They also boasted that this token was a major move by BlackRock in the field of financial innovation, but it’s all a lie.
It’s important to remind everyone that this isn’t the first time a large company has been impersonated. Last year, a fake document appeared on the Delaware Department of State’s website claiming that BlackRock had registered the “iShares XRP Trust,” which turned out to be false.
Such scams and hacking incidents are becoming increasingly common in the cryptocurrency space. Just a few days ago, the Cardano Foundation’s social media account was hacked to promote a fake token “ADAsol.” There was also an incident where Bloomberg's Sam Altman's account was hacked to promote a fake token “$OPENAI.”
So, when you see this kind of news online, make sure to be cautious and don’t get fooled by these misleading reports. If you encounter uncertain information, it’s best to verify it through official channels.
