An alleged special report from ZDF explains how Helge Schneider is said to have already earned millions from home through a crypto platform.

It is not the first time that well-known personalities have been used to promote crypto platforms. ( look here )

Users usually become aware of the bait through sponsored Facebook posts. The creators primarily attract people with prominent names or a sensational scandal. The decoy initially doesn't look like an advertisement for binary options.

The bait presents itself as an ATM fraud, with a few promising sentences like “Now everyone knows it’s true!” If the user wants to find out more about the fraud, they are redirected directly to a supposed special report from ZDF.

The content of the article has absolutely nothing to do with the bait. Even if the site seems real at first glance, it is not. The logos of well-known media companies are only intended to inspire trust in the content.

The article reports on Helge Schneider, who allegedly made millions by investing in “Crypto Bank”. But the story is fictional. This is so-called “fabricated content” – pseudo-editorially created content that has no truth and does not have to have any truth. Likewise, the content does not have to be related to the headline or the bait.

The purpose of this fake news page is to click on the numerous links interspersed in the article, which take the user to the cryptocurrency trading platform. This platform is specifically about trading binary options in the form of Bitcoins. This is not illegal, but the fake testimonials from alleged users of the platform speak strongly against the seriousness of the platform!

The crux of the matter with binary options

Trading binary options is a highly risky model, some of which is also offered over the counter. Definitely not a product for beginners!

Two actions can occur with binary options:

  1. The predicted event occurs, whereby traders receive a predetermined amount.
  2. The predicted event does not occur, causing traders to suffer a loss.

When trading binary options, users can earn money if their assessment is correct. Online binary options trading involves numerous risks. For example, you may not be able to receive a payout, end up with providers who manipulate prices, or your personal data may be used for crimes under your name, as the user's personal data ends up in the hands of the operator.

Conclusion:

use clickbait to attract users to their website and present manufactured content in the design of equally well-known media companies.

Basically, this is about online trading with binary options - although a lot of knowledge and experience is necessary to actually make big money. In addition, such platforms do not pay out profits to users, rarely or only partially.

ZDF and Helge Schneider have absolutely nothing to do with it!
