Scammers could win big thanks to DOGE's government cuts


//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ld-win-big-thanks-to-doge-s-government-cuts.html
Published in Politics and Government on Friday, March 21st 2025 at 22:40 GMT by Mashable   Print publication without navigation

  • Reduced staff and fewer resources could hamper the government's ability to respond to consumer reports of fraud, investigate complaints, and regulate products and platforms that scammers rely on to steal from their victims, says John Breyault, VP of Public Policy of the National Consumers League.

The article from Mashable discusses the increasing sophistication of online scams, particularly those involving cryptocurrency like Dogecoin. It highlights how scammers are now using deepfake technology to impersonate celebrities, such as Elon Musk, to deceive people into fraudulent investment schemes. These scams have evolved from simple phishing emails to complex setups where victims are lured into fake cryptocurrency trading platforms. The article mentions a specific case where a victim lost $150,000 after being tricked by a deepfake video of Musk. It also points out that these scams are not only becoming more technologically advanced but are also exploiting the trust people have in public figures. The piece warns readers to be vigilant, verify the authenticity of investment opportunities, and be skeptical of too-good-to-be-true offers, especially those involving cryptocurrency.
