Kimi Raikkonen’s name is being used to scam people out of money. His agent, Sami Visa, is warning fans about these fake schemes. They’re popping up on social media, with headlines and photos of the famous Formula 1 driver.
These scams promise huge returns on cryptocurrency investments. They look real, with fake news articles and websites that seem legit. But it’s all a lie. Raikkonen’s team says he’s never been involved in any cryptocurrency ads.
How the scams work
- Scammers create fake news articles with Raikkonen’s name and photo
- They promise unrealistic returns on cryptocurrency investments
- Victims are directed to fake websites that look like real news outlets
Raikkonen’s team is fighting back. They’ve contacted the social media platforms where these scams are being posted. They’re also working with the police to try and stop the scammers.
Raikkonen himself is warning fans to be careful. He says he’s never given investment advice or endorsed any cryptocurrency schemes. His wife, Minttu Raikkonen, hasn’t either.
