Ben&Ben, a nine-piece pop band with over three million YouTube followers, started live-streaming a fraudulent XRP advertisement.
Several Filipino musicians’ YouTube accounts have been hacked and are now promoting an XRP scam.
On July 15, several accounts from famous musicians based in the Philippines were seen promoting a deepfake video of Brad Garlinghouse predicting that XRP (XRP) might reach $4. Such schemes often direct victims to phishing websites to access their funds.
A report from local media outlet Bitpinas highlighted that YouTube pages for the local band Ben&Ben, boyband SB19 and musician Rico Blanco were all compromised.
