西班牙當局拆除了一個複雜的加密投資騙局，該騙局在超過1900萬歐元中欺騙了200多名受害者

Spanish authorities have dismantled a sophisticated crypto investment scam that defrauded over 200 victims out of more than €19 million ($21.5 million) and involved using artificial intelligence to create fake celebrity endorsements, the Spanish National Police said in a statement on Thursday, August 24.

西班牙國家警察在8月24日星期四的一份聲明中說，西班牙當局已拆除了一個複雜的加密投資騙局，該騙局欺騙了超過1900萬歐元（2150萬美元）中的200多名受害者，並參與使用人工智能來創建假名的認可。

The investigation, which spanned two years, led to the arrest of six individuals across Spain.

The case unfolded when a man from Granada reported losing €624,000 ($700,000) in a suspected crypto investment fraud. As police delved deeper, they discovered a broader scheme.

當一名來自格拉納達的男子報告說，涉嫌加密投資欺詐中的624,000歐元（700,000美元）損失了624,000歐元（700,000美元）時，此案發生了。隨著警察的深入研究，他們發現了一個更廣泛的計劃。

The scam involved connivers who used AI-generated videos of well-known public figures to convince victims to invest in what appeared to be a high-return crypto venture. However, to unlock their original investments, victims were told they needed to make additional payments, thereby perpetuating the fraud.

這些騙局涉及使用AI生成的著名公眾人物視頻的Connivers說服受害者對似乎是高回報的加密貨幣投資的投資。但是，為了釋放他們的原始投資，受害者被告知他們需要進行額外的付款，從而使欺詐永存。

Police did not specify which cryptocurrencies were targeted but urged citizens to be wary of high-return digital asset schemes.

警方沒有指定針對哪些加密貨幣，但敦促公民對高回報的數字資產計劃保持警惕。

The case highlights a growing trend in crypto-related scams, where AI-generated deepfake videos and hijacked celebrity identities are increasingly used to promote fraudulent investments.

該案強調了與加密相關的騙局的日益增長的趨勢，在該騙局中，AI生成的Deepfake視頻和被劫持的名人身份越來越多地用於促進欺詐性投資。

Similar scams have been on the rise, with criminals exploiting public trust in recognizable figures to push meme coins or pump-and-dump schemes.

類似的騙局也在增加，犯罪分子利用公眾的信任來推動模因硬幣或泵和降低計劃。

就在本週，Guns N'Roses吉他手Slash宣布他的帳戶受到妥協並用來推廣假加密計劃後離開社交媒體平台X。
