On Facebook, users repeatedly stumble upon so-called commercial fake news that leads to dubious Bitcoin platforms.
In order to make users aware of this fake news, it is often advertised on Facebook. Most of the advertisements show alleged scenes from the program “The Lion's Den” with scandalous titles. At the end, the article leads to a website with so-called “fabricated content” to convince the reader to invest in cryptocurrency.
Users who believe the bait could end up losing a lot of money. Even alleged commentators only give a generated opinion.
This is what these commercial fake NEWS look like:

This mega deal at The Lion's Den can even make YOU richer!
This really works guys
I've been doing this for a few days if you're interested. I started with €250 and currently have €3,420 paid out in my bank account, it is very easy to use
Analysis in detail
We have been familiar with this type of advertising for a long time - the method itself has not changed for months. You can always recognize such advertisements on Facebook by the fact that they have the word “sponsored” on them.
If you click on this advertisement, you will be taken to an external website that serves the reader “fabricated content”. The website displayed presents itself as a newspaper report and represents a pseudo-editorial article. This repeatedly contains advertising links that the user should click on.
It is often the case that the headline has absolutely nothing to do with the content. The only goal is to sell the user on a product or to invest in Bitcoin trading models.

The website itself cannot provide an imprint, nor is there any data protection information or other characteristics of origin. At the end, the user is shown supposed comments from other users who report on how successful the model/product is. But it is part of the advertising scam - these comments are not real.
If you follow the product links that are built into the pseudo-editorial text on the website, you will end up in an affiliate sales program. In the end there is a dubious Bitcoin trade method. The creator of the commercial fake NEWS should therefore have an interest in as many users as possible registering for this model.
The story of “The Lion’s Den” should sound as credible as possible and at the same time have a high potential for virality.
