THE $90M SCAM TEARING TV APART!

These famous faces have unknowingly been targeted by cybercriminals swindling millions
THE $90M SCAM TEARING TV APART!

Sunrise host Natalie Barr was left red-faced on-air recently when she revealed she’d been caught up in a shock porn scandal, involving fake images of her that had been appearing on pornographic websites.

“I’m not on a porn site, just to clarify,” said the 52-year-old mother-of-two, who was forced to defend herself in an awkward segment. “Quite a lot of people are direct messaging me and saying, ‘Did you know you’re on a porn site?’” she explained of the embarrassing ordeal.

But it’s not just Natalie who has been unknowingly targeted by scammers – from bogus beauty creams to dodgy diet pills, cybercriminals have been sweeping across the country, using a stream of famous faces to prey on unsuspecting Aussies.

Terrifyingly, criminals have managed to swindle $91 million out of the pockets of everyday Australians – and it seems there’s no celebrity off-limits.
