Likely scam
Fake celebrity-endorsement investment ads
A recurring Facebook-ad pattern using deepfaked or fabricated endorsements from public figures (Elon Musk, Martin Lewis, TV hosts) to push fake crypto/investment platforms like “Quantum AI” and “Immediate Edge”. Victims deposit ~$250, watch fake dashboard “profits” grow, then find withdrawals blocked and are pressured into escalating “fees” never returned. The named celebrities are impersonated victims.
Fake endorsement · active
“If a celebrity is “personally” recommending a get-rich crypto platform in a Facebook ad, it's a deepfake — you'll deposit real money and never withdraw a cent.”
Our opinion, based on the public evidence below, as of 20 Jul 2026. How we work & right of reply →
The evidence — every signal, shown
Identity & legitimacy
Impersonated celebrities who never endorsed anything
Regulators document fabricated endorsements from Elon Musk and Martin Lewis; the ACCC's case against Meta named Australians Dick Smith, David Koch and Mike Baird whose images were used without consent. Martin Lewis states any ad featuring him is always a scam.
Payment
Small deposit, then blocked withdrawals
Per the ACCC, scammers ask for roughly $250 via credit card for platform access, show fabricated gains, then lock victims out or demand extra 'liquidity'/'security' fees when they try to withdraw.
Ad behavior
Deepfake video ads run on Meta
The scam is distributed via AI-generated deepfake video ads on Facebook; in 2022 the ACCC sued Meta alleging it published false/misleading scam celebrity crypto ads and was knowingly concerned in the advertisers' conduct.
Recurring throwaway platform brands
The same operation reappears under rotating names including Quantum AI, Immediate Edge, Immediate Connect and Quantum Trade Wave, per the ACCC; Sensity's 2024 report calls Quantum AI the most widespread deepfake celebrity scam.
Complaints
Large documented consumer losses
Australians reported over $8M lost (400 Scamwatch reports) to these platforms per the ACCC; AARP/FTC-linked reporting documents Musk-impersonation victims losing $220,000 and $700,000.
Review authenticity
Fake news articles and rigged dashboards
Victims are funnelled through counterfeit news articles carrying fake celebrity quotes and given a login dashboard showing false profits to build trust before larger deposits are solicited.
