Get-rich-quick or investment schemes, fake job offers, fake 'customer support' contact details, or pretending to be a company or government to collect passwords, bank details or IDs (e.g. a 'free payout' link).

“Promoting "get rich quick" investment schemes, fake job offers, or sharing fake "customer support" contact information”

How to fix it
Remove guaranteed-return claims, payout or giveaway links and support numbers you don't own; add risk disclosure to money content.
Good to know
Look for guaranteed returns, 'double your money', giveaway or payout links, crypto wallet requests, and phone numbers presented as official support. Honest financial education with risk disclosure is fine.
