Rob Brydon has become the latest target of the boiler room scam advertisers.
WATCH OUT!!! THIS IS NOT THE:
As we can clearly see, these articles are actually suggesting that Rob Brydon was interviewed on the New At Ten on BBC TV.
He is being touted as a supposed guest on a talk show segment of the BBC News At Ten that revealed he actually makes all of his money from automated Bitcoin trading robots instead of being famous and on television.
Here is an example seen today at https://profit-gold-strategy.life/?u=bdlkd0x&o=x7t8nng with the links on the site taking you through to a Bitcoin Billionaire scam site here: https://be-btcsite.com/ although the site mostly talks about Bitcoin Futures nut it is all the same scam.
What is this News Article?
This fake new article is the latest in a long line of advertising campaigns used by the boiler room scammer network in order to defraud people out of their savings. The tactic is very simple, to persuade people that a celebrity has appeared on television and demonstrated an amazing new app that automatically makes money day and night. The story is that (in this case) Rob Brydon has appeared on television being interview by Michael Buerk and has shown Michael that he has a new money making scheme running on his phone. Michael is supposedly impressed and tries the app himself making money during the show. The next paragraph claims that HSBC then phone the show and the producers are forced top stop broadcasting.
What is the Scam?
The scam is that this article fools people into believing these ridiculous technologies are even real and being resold to people by using the association of normally trustable sources such as the BBC, Michael Buerk and Rob Brydon to try and give credibility to their boiler room scam. They use the familiar logos and faces to try and get you to feel confident about this product and when you read how easy to use and profitable it is, you get excited and fill in the form before you give it due consideration. Once they have your number they commence their boiler room scam.
What is a Boiler Room Scam?
A boiler room scam is essentially a process of bullying people to invest in financial products that they have not checked and do not fully understand. You make deposits, often by cryptocurrency, into sites that are registered overseas and then they simply steal your money under the guise of you losing trades with huge leveraging (where what you bid is only aa fraction of what you win or lose at the end of the contract) so you can stake $500 USD and wind up owing them $50,000 USD. Really you can. Whether they really made those bids for you or just stole your money is almost impossible to prove and their terms and conditions sew you up like a beached kip[per anyway so there is little chance of comeback or any sort of legal remedy.
So What Happens is I Click on one of the Links?
Well firstly you are taken through to a page that promises you the amazing lifestyle everyone always dreams of, here are a few examples of the Bitcoin Billionaire sites they might show you:
Bitcoin Billionaire Sites seen recently...
Now we have substituted the links in the Rob Brydon page with our own fake Bitcoin Trading Platform Bitcoin Sucker (https://www.BitcoinSucker.com) which we run just for a laugh and cannot trade or take anyone's money, but the video is amusing to us as we know about the scams and what they try to achieve. You can be sure that we have not developed a quantum computing artificially intelligent app in partnership with aliens who want to probe your butthole in real life.
What is the Danger?
Well you are staring right at it on that page. The danger is the contact details entry form. This is their goal and their means to defraud people. As soon as they have your mobile number you will be terrorised by phone scammers promising you massive wealth if you deposit money into their systems. Let's go back to the first page though, and see how they are trying to use Mr. Brydon to defraud the British public:
How Do They Scam Us?
Well they start out with something familiar, like this:
So this is obviously a lie. You cannot promote products on the BBC except under certain conditions, such as a book or film when you're on Graham Norton or something. There is no way a money making app would appear on BBC Two for purely political reasons, and if such a remarkable app was to appear in the Guardian you can bet on it becoming newsworthy, so you would've found out by now.
So the first trick they use is subterfuge. Impersonating something familiar in order to introduce something alien.
We can see this at play further with the images they use:
Now it does not take a genius to realise that these two people are not in the same photo, but they are obviously trying to suggest such. The way that they have been made to look towards each other even though they are in front of completely different backgrounds is indicative that we are supposed to assume that this is an interview situation.
Part of the success of these campaigns is that the shock of excitement instilled by the idea of getting rich quick stops people looking too closely, as they become hungry to sign-up. Their instinctive greed for food and wealth in order to survive is pitted against them without them even realising it.
What Does The Article Tell Us?
Now the text always begins the same way with all of these scams, whether they are using Jeremy Clarkson, Gordon Ramsay, This Morning, Dragons Den or Martin Lewis the text reads:
[Insert celebrity name here] has made a name for himself as a straight-talker who doesn’t mind being honest about how he makes his money.
Well firstly Rob Brydon is not known as a strait talker at all. If anything he is known as a man who can talk for some time without really saying anything if he wishes. He is a man of words rather than action. That is why he is such a great comedy host or guest.
Secondly, everyone knows how Rob Brydon makes his money. He is a comedian/talk show host/quizmaster on the television and he makes other appearances and opens shows etc. He has no need of a back-up income as he works very hard doing what he does already, and good luck to him.
What he does not do is appear on the News at Ten and start telling people how to run their finances. Firstly the News at Ten does not have guests, does it? This whole article is referring to something that is completely impossible. Secondly, if Rob was going to appear on a serious show, he is hardly likely to come in with his size twelve boots on telling everyone how to make money is he? He would most definitely approach the show with a very gentle humour to test the waters and proceed as politely as he knows how. He would be a fish out of water on a news show.
Taking all of this into account, we can make a final judgement here. If Rob Brydon started giving out financial advice he would very quickly undermine his own popularity, as financial advice cannot always be good, and he would destroy his own career even if he unwittingly gave bad advice.
So - point one - Rob Brydon would never appear on the Ten O'clock News or give financial advice.
Then the articles goes to explain what supposedly happened in the interview:
BBC Ten O'clock News co-host Michael Buerk invited Rob on the show to share his key to success how he built his wealth and unexpectedly the British entrepreneur and philanthropist made a shock announcement:
"What makes me successful is the ability to spot new opportunities quickly-jump on them without any hesitation. And right now, my number one money-gen source of profit is a new cryptocurrency trading program called Bitcoin Future .It's the biggest deal I've seen in my entire lifetime to build a small fortune fast. I encourage everyone to check this out before it will be removed from the public access."
BBC Ten O'clock News co-host Michael Buerk couldn't believe as Rob showed viewers big numbers which he's making through this new money-making program that till now was only rumoured in the United Kingdom.
Again, as we can see, this is a fabric of lies. Nobody ever gets invited onto the Ten O'clock news unless they are reporting via satellite from a warzone or the site of some other newsworthy event. Michael Buerk does not interview guests and certainly no one demonstrates money-making apps on the BBC.
An Interview with Rob Brydon?
Moving along we are subsequently told that the segment on the Ten O'clock news ran out of time, and so this publication (Yes, which newspaper is this supposed to be again?) managed to get an exclusive interview with the man himself, Rob Brydon.
Now once again in the above, we can see that two totally unrelated photos are being put alongside each other in order to try and establish some sort of connection. The first image is Rob Brydon sat in a chair, in what may be the Christmas show he chaired a few years back with Jack Dee, and the second image of a phone with a misaligned fake screen superimposed upon it, ostensibly showing deposits from Bitcoin.
Now apart from the fact that a bank statement would not have that level of description concerning deposits, we can also see that this image has clearly been doctored. The screen and mobile device simply do not line-up properly.
Point two: There is no evidence of any kind here that Rob Brydon uses a phone app to generate wealth!
What Is Rob Supposed To Have Said?
Well here is some of the text in quotes concerning this alleged meeting:
"You may have heard about this new cryptocurrency investment platform called Bitcoin Future that’s helping regular people in United Kingdom, Asia and North America build fortunes overnight. You may be sceptical because it sounds too good to be true."
Rob continues:
“I had the same feeling when a trusted friend told me about it. But after seeing with my own eyes how much money he was making, I decided to test it out myself. I was surprised with real-time results: I'm talking about tens of thousands of pounds a day on autopilot. It’s lit the fastest way and easiest way to make cash right now. And it’s going to be removed from the public access when more and more people find out about this amazing opportunity. Or when banks take it down.”
Now look at how ridiculous this quote is. Rob is being told about something that, supposedly in his own words "Looks too good to be true" but he was brought to it by "A trusted friend" but as his friend helped him overcome his doubt at this impossibly easy wealth generation system, he began earning "Tens of thousands of pounds a day on autopilot."
Believe us, if someone managed to write a trading programme that made them tens of thousands per day without any human input, they would guard it with their lives and certainly never appear on TV to tell everyone else!
How do They Link Rob to the Scam?
So here we revert to the same text that every on of these scam articles uses. The 'What exactly is Bitcoin Blad-de-blah, and how does it work' where they go into a lot of nonsense about quantum computing, algorithms and artificial intelligence. The upshot is that this system can see into the future and predict the cryptocurrency markets so that it always wins contracts for differences and makes you a fortune. This is the final stage of the scam, to get you acclimatised with the idea that you will be making trades that you can either win or lose. What is referred to as Binary Options trading, where there are two outcomes, win or lose. This is a great way to enchant people into thinking that they can lose everything but as they have the auto-trading robot, it is unlikely to happen to them. this primes them for the fall they are about to take.
They throw in a couple of pictures of various tech giants to smooth the way:
Has A Normal Family Become Rich With This App?
Then they move onto the final assault on your common sense. They go to the example of a normal person like us who has a family and a mortgage and all the usual worries. Then they start using Bitcoin Sucker and everything changes. They are suddenly rich and happy and live in a huge house.
They go through the results that the app gives these generic people and show bank statements and other figures to convince us that this is a real app and that it will really make us rich. Nowhere is there a link to the Google or Apple apps stores though.
The last stage of hammering home the scam is to keep repeating your instructions. Register, Deposit, Activate. Register, Deposit, Activate.
- Register with the website by entering your contact details and pressing send
- Deposit money into the account
- Press the autopilot button and wait to get rich
Now the second two steps are really there to convince you to do the first step. So the second step is often performed whilst the scammers are on the phone bullying you into compliance. The third step is of course, impossible. There is no autopilot button, there is no app. This idea is just to make you take a step into trading CFDs when you have no idea what you are doing. This situation allows them to convince you how to trade and enter a highly leveraged deal with a significant stake and lose all of your money instantly. The trade is fake, the stake is a con, and this is a Bitcoin Sucker boiler room scam. Goodnight!
VERDICT: ROB BRYDON DOES NOT USE A CRYPTO AUTO-TRADING APP: SCAM !!
