Financial coach and speaker Chinkee Tan is warning the public against the use of his name in false news reports and deceptive online advertisements.
It was brought to Tan’s attention last September 30 that a fake news website falsely claimed he had been apprehended, with the sole intent of luring people into a cryptocurrency scam.
“We’ve recently discovered that malicious actors are using my name as clickbait, misleading the public into believing false reports about me being arrested. This is not only a blatant lie, but it’s also a harmful tactic meant to defraud individuals. I urge everyone to be cautious and verify the legitimacy of such reports,” Tan said.
The fake news was initially found on fraudulent Facebook ads and websites posing as credible news sources.
Tan said his team has reported the fake news to Facebook but despite their efforts, the fake ads persist.
The issue has also been escalated to the NBI – Cybercrime Division for legal action, including the filing of an Affidavit of Denial and an Affidavit of Complaint.
Tan’s team has launched a campaign to inform the public about the ongoing scams using his name, urging users to be vigilant. They also called on the public to avoid interacting with dubious advertisements and always verify the sources of the information.
Tan reassures his followers that he remains committed to his mission of helping people achieve financial freedom and will take legal measures to protect his name.
