Bitcoin is currently very popular with fraud campaigns addressing young consumers. The Immediate Edge Bot a/k/a Immediate Edge a/k/a BTC Edge campaign, for example. Evidently, it is focused on young consumers in Europe and Asia via fake articles. A whistleblower sent us a fake report about the purported arrest of Immediate Edge clients in Dubai for spending their excessive wealth; an almost funny-stupid article published on the fake news site The Financial Report.
The Immediate Edge campaign currently runs on the Become Wealthier Now site (https://becomewealthiernow.com/btcedgenew/index-en.php). However, it’s available on many other sites. The operators of these fraud campaigns change the domains and websites frequently. The Immediate Edge campaign promises daily profits of up to €2,200 with the world’s best crypto software (boring).
The campaign is booked by scammers but also by CySEC-regulated investment firms to trap customers.
