The police, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stated that they are closely monitoring these activities and will take strict legal action against individuals found advertising or supporting such fraudulent initiatives.
“Attention Social Media Influencers & YouTubers: Refrain from promoting betting apps, fraudulent investment schemes, or fake work-from-home job offers. Such actions are punishable under the law,” the post read.
