These Celebrity Scam Ads Are INSANE

[@YEOLO]

this is the last the words!!

[@nathanaelchia7167]

Words the last

[@Taoism32]

I reported one of these ads to Facebook and they came back and said that there was nothing wrong with these ads.

[@Taoism32]

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 12:25 PM We didn’t remove the ad To keep our review process as fair as possible, we use the same Advertising Standards to review reports. We’ve taken a look and found that this ad doesn’t go against our Advertising Standards. Because you reported it, we won’t show this ad to you again. You can also influence the ads you see by hiding ads or changing your ad preferences. If you disagree with the decision to not take the ad down, you can request a review.

[@jerryang17]

They use fake CNA clone websites with fake articles where the celebrity involved allegedly reveals some crypto/stock etc. "secret". There is often a clickable link in the fake article either to a phishing site or some other form of scam. I've already reported at least 10 such scam ads. I'm guessing those links that lead to proper pages (the old articles/actor bio page) are the scammers changing the linked website to avoid being banned after being reported.

[@Qiyunwu]

Fb useless

[@ronq7547]

Same, I reported the ads too, but facebook just reply: "We didn't remove the ad. We've taken a look and found that this ad doesn't go against our advertising standards." I was like... wtf... I think facebook need to fire the person who reviewed these ads.

[@billyliu6811]

@@ronq7547 facebook unfortunately just wants money. if it pays their bills, they'll allow it even if it's a gray zone

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Sponsored ads are like mosquitoes: You try to get rid of them but they’ll come back stronger.

[@IndominusRex-ru6ow]

Just like you Singaporeans

[@IndominusRex-ru6ow]

Just take a look at who's talking

[@ocping]

Ad: Fakes image of celebrity Facebook: There's nothing wrong with this

[@Jojo-oi3iz]

Reported the ads in Facebook but Facebook said there is nothing wrong. I guess Facebook cares about making money more than the truth.

[@juizymanyxd_vii]

3:39 I have been seeing some of these similar fake cna ads on ig reels

[@hironyx]

bank of singapore is a subsidiary of OCBC, if anyone's wondering

[@gweejiahan9336]

i reported some of them but facebook says its not against their community standards CB FB

[@calvinkok2253]

JJ Lin also did not realize the microphone was on in his interview with Steven Chia.

[@vt2851]

Facebook needs to stop all these fake ads...if Facebook dnot do anything about all these fake statements, it's encouraging more mroe this fake contest ..end of it Facebook dnot care.

[@eddelapena22]

Yeolo just endangered his own KZbin career with these words!!!

[@nanocodethespectator2646]

This could shake the societal balance of Singapore as we know it! 😱

[@aesric]

Different company

Quote of the Day: “The people behind this are unhinged.”

[@JeddtheJedi]

I think the first one of these ads that I saw was of Lee Hsien Loong. Feels like that would have been bigger news had it really happened.

[@Sparklynn69]

I remembered seeing an ad regarding Lee Hsien Loong

[@lsh157]

I’m constantly reporting these ads on instagram but it just kept c’min back! The jj lin and ben yeo esepcially omg

[@cjredMX]

😂😂 yah these ads are annoying af!!!

[@mousefatfat]

They really need to pay Ben Yeo

[@adiel_rusyaidi]

Dawn Tan is likely a reference to the news anchor of the same name from CNA

[@xChaserofLightx]

I reported and blocked one of these “ads” and the more it keeps popping out when I scroll through FB.. I reported and block like 5 of these kind of “ads” in a span of a few minutes of scrolling. FB clearly doesn’t care.

[@lawrencegomar5737]

As an American I have no idea who these people are so I don't click.

[@Panda-0183]

They mentioned you on 95.80

[@DeathHela]

uk what is worse than these fake ads, KZbin ads ☠️☠️ cuz u can’t skip them until after 5 sec

[@Huntd6r]

Bank of Singapore is OCBC for high networth clients....

[@pengtuck]

There's a similar scam going on in Malaysia but obviously localised. Same clickbait title but talks about maybank smart boost investment. Apparently maybank does crypto investment now

[@JackLeniad]

@Toaism32 same lah I've reported the ads and they kept on coming back is like when you kill a fly the other flies come to you...

[@gearfet7622]

So many of these ads! Are “Celebrities and Ministers” featured able to form a class action lawsuit against social media companies that propagated such scam ads?

[@yappyyap7594]

I reported at least half a dozen times to FB but they feel that it's perfectly alright and there's nothing wrong with them. I gave up!

[@eltee5696]

I also get lots of facebook junk ads. Some telling me I'll be rich soon and buy my own plane. Others are for steak restaurants. In the US. I reported. But same "we found nothing wrong ..."

[@rabinpaul5735]

Clearly these "ads" are clickbait. FB or wherever else these are found won't get acted on unless the subjects themselves report them. One other thing to remember is bad (any) publicity is better than no publicity. So I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for these celebrities to even report them.

[@vlogtimes3079]

Bank of Singapore is a private bank under ocbc. Not for the average people.

[@eekiongedmundchan4558]

Saw so many such ads featuring Ho Ching…

[@jk-er2zt]

: what name should i give to myself? AI: Louder

[@gnauhsnave]

plenty on instagram as well, not surprising since they are the same parent company... Report also no use... Meta should take a look at this video and comments, and wake up their idea.

[@jeneuweenlaf948]

These ads with CNA branding is incorrigible. I reported it to CNA and feel they shld put more effort into squashing it.

[@Missy_Ai]

So much allegatios in FB 😂

[@0248delltv]

You guys are still using Facebook??

[@erictoh30]

Beware of the financial scam behind these “Ads”

[@yoonchongong8914]

i dont bother with sponsored ads. Definitely .know that its fake.

[@joyceky_]

Me waiting for the defamation lawsuits

[@jk-er2zt]

In president we invest!

[@nwyk153]

No use reporting it to FB. Just hide or mark as non irrelevant.

[@jk-er2zt]

Forest Lee say hi

[@northernstarlite]

can you not use that as thumbnail...wtf....

[@erictoh30]

I know what’s going on with these “Ads”

[@logan3122]

Good choice of thumbnail. Those in taiwan know about jj lin’s multiple relationships with women, in which one even ended up being dead after she committed suicide. If you know chinese, you can look it up

[@Hamcheese-nk8ug]

I am so early here

[@zhiqiangng95]

Most probably most of them are AI generated. 🤦

[@szewei85]

Hahahaha

[@fiercekid84]

ok la just jail the celebrities asses can liao

Bank of Singapore is the private banking wing managed by OCBC. Need at least S$3,000,000 to open an account. . I just opened a S$5,000,000 account with them in 2024. . . . . . . . Just kidding. I'm piss poor. Sobs the last the word...
