The claim
Alleged former McDonald's employees are said to have earned 55,000 euros in just three months. However, these stories are nothing more than bait to lure users to dubious Bitcoin investment sites.
Our conclusion
The supposed success stories of former McDonald's employees making huge profits in a very short period of time are fabricated and serve as bait for fraudulent Bitcoin investment platforms.
Fact check: McDonald's success stories
Lately there have been a striking number of posts on Facebook, especially in Facebook groups, with seemingly unbelievable success stories. The protagonists of these articles are allegedly former McDonald's employees who earned 55,000 euros after just three months. But who are these people really? Our fact check shows: They are fictitious. The images used in the posts are often stock photos or manipulated images, the stories behind them are unverifiable and made up!
The contributions play with admiration and envy. They talk about extraordinary achievements, personal resilience and remarkable successes. A typical post might read: “I find it difficult to understand the extraordinary performance of this former McDonald's employee. Her story is a powerful example of how resilience, perseverance and an unwavering belief in yourself can lead to remarkable success.”
These are these and similar status posts on Facebook:
Clickbait: The way into the Bitcoin trap
The posts deliberately exploit admiration and envy to encourage users to click on the links they contain. However, if you do this, you will not end up on a page with further details about the success stories, but on a page that promotes investing in Bitcoins. This bait, also known as “clickbait”, directs users to dubious or even fraudulent websites. The articles, as well as the names and places of residence appearing there, are fictitious.
Warning: The risk behind the false promises
These sites often promise high returns in a short period of time. However, anyone who gets carried away by the success stories and big promises and invests in such platforms is risking all their money. You are therefore strongly cautioned against making such investments without prior thorough research and advice.
Protective measures and healthy skepticism
We therefore appeal to you to be vigilant and to question such stories critically. Before a link is clicked, it is important to check where it leads and what information is requested there. Antivirus software and regular system updates can help protect against such scams.
Conclusion: Too good to be true
Our fact check shows: These McDonald's success stories are nothing more than a scam designed to lure users into a Bitcoin trap. If a story sounds too good to be true, it often isn't. Always be critical and don't be blinded by big promises.
