A family ruined by a flood, a story far from true
It turns out that the fraudsters’ creativity has already taken on a literary and journalistic dimension. On fake websites, they describe made-up stories, full of credible-sounding details, regarding investment opportunities. For example, a certain employee of Orlen, with a specific name and surname, changed her life by signing up to the Earning Platform and investing her savings there. She earned enough money to buy a new house. Interestingly, the woman told about everything on the Dzień Dobry TVN breakfast program, confiding everything to Dorota Wellman. The article is also illustrated with an appropriate photo from the studio. It must be admitted that there has never been anything like this before.
Let’s be vigilant, because this type of news is only a new bait and a pattern of action for increasingly greedy fraudsters.
