西班牙当局拆除了一个复杂的加密投资骗局，该骗局在超过1900万欧元中欺骗了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.

西班牙国家警察在8月24日星期四的一份声明中说，西班牙当局已拆除了一个复杂的加密投资骗局，该骗局欺骗了超过1900万欧元（2150万美元）中的200多名受害者，并参与使用人工智能来创建假名的认可。

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.

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.

这些骗局涉及使用AI生成的著名公众人物视频的Connivers说服受害者对似乎是高回报的加密货币投资的投资。但是，为了释放他们的原始投资，受害者被告知他们需要进行额外的付款，从而使欺诈永存。

类似的骗局也在增加，犯罪分子利用公众的信任来推动模因硬币或泵和降低计划。

就在本周，Guns N'Roses吉他手Slash宣布他的帐户受到妥协并用来推广假加密计划后离开社交媒体平台X。

上个月，加密新闻媒体Watcher.Guru确认其官方X帐户在伪造的帖子中涉及Ripple和Swift在其社交媒体渠道之间的潜在交易，可能会影响XRP的兴趣，因此对官方X帐户进行了黑客攻击。
