Marcus Rashford is the newest celebrity exploited through corporations that promote unregulated investments for consumers.

In a report published online, England footballer and Manchester United allegedly discovered a “wealth gap” to share.

Rashford recently appeared in the headlines of his crusade for loose school food to continue outdoors during the quarters, and links were sent to the report, which has now been withdrawn, to potential investors in an email referencing work.

The email won through a journalist who registered on an online page that pronounced investments in cryptocurrencies. The lists on other sites resulted in similar emails suggesting that bitcoin investments had been backed by singer Adele, former British cricketer Freddie Flintoff and comedian Russell Howard.

Rashford’s history has been moved to a separate matrix and records on this page have gone to a foreign exchange and commodity trade founded in the Marshall Islands, which has recently been the subject of a warning from the UK monetary regulator.

Celebrities are the newest in a long list of well-known names that will be used without their knowledge, in advertisements purportedly for cryptocurrency investments. MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis, chef Gordon Ramsay and TV stars Dragons’ Den have also given the impression on false reports on the pages. designed to look like genuine media, adding The Guardian.

People who respond to ads receive their tactile data sent to investment companies, adding bitcoin exchange systems and legal but unregulated exchange systems abroad.

The Guardian has been working with a foreign consortium of journalists, led by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), to investigate the avalanche of celebrity support.

The investigation revealed:

A UK-based company sent emails suggesting that Rashford and featured names approved investments in bitcoins.

Selling search terms, adding celebrity names alongside the word bitcoin, is lucrative for Google, as corporations charge advertisers more than $5 ($3. 75) per click.

Investors who responded to the bitcoin trading formula announcements were contacted via a currency exchange formula in Cyprus, or found themselves registering with unauthorized formulas under FCA warnings.
