Shark Tank judges Steve Baxter and Janine Allis targeted in fake Bitcoin trading advertisements

A number of fake online advertisements for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading platforms have been fraudulently impersonating judges and investors on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank, with judge Steve Baxter warning followers on Twitter the ads are a “scam”.

Baxter posted a link to a fake news article earlier this week, titled “The Biggest Deal In Shark Tank History, That Can Make YOU Rich In Just 7 Days! (Seriously)”, which appears as a full page advertisement on celebrity news and entertainment blog The World of Fame.
