SINGAPORE – OCBC Bank “called” to stop Temasek chief executive Ho Ching from giving out money-making secrets during an interview, claims a fake article for a “cryptocurrency trading programme” linked in a Facebook advertisement.
If that does not raise enough red flags, the bogus report, masquerading as one by The Straits Times, also says that “Ho Ching urged everyone in Singapore to jump on this amazing opportunity before the big banks shut it down for good”.
Plastered across the report are the logos and mast heads of media outlets such as The New Paper, The Business Times, Today, The Independent Singapore and Singapore Business Review.
Such fake articles promoted by fake ads on Facebook have been circulating for months now, despite attempts by the social media platform to remove them. Having cited Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as its “endorser” in August, the investment scam has now moved on to Mr Lee’s wife, Ms Ho Ching.
Early on Tuesday morning (Nov 26), Ms Ho warned Facebook users of the fake reports using her name and that of others.
