In Hollywood, A-listers are always trying to bring their top game on social media. But sometimes this popularity takes a very wrong turn altogether, bringing in more problems as compared to fame. While Kylie Jenner is the fourth most-followed celebrity on Instagram, even she comes second to actress Scarlett Johansson when we talk about online scams.

Scarlett Johansson with her slew of box-office hits is not a stranger when it comes to topping charts and breaking records. But when it comes to topping the list of online scams, the actress would surely not be that thrilled. Further, adding to this would be how she threatened to sue OpenAI when they reportedly tried to copy her voice.

Now according to McAfee’s latest report via The Hollywood Reporter, she alongside Kylie Jenner has acquired the topmost positions when it comes to their images being used in fake advertisements, phony cryptocurrency schemes, and product giveaways. Not only these two, but pictures of actress Sydney Sweeney have also been used in fake investment scams.

The report also specifically states that all of this is possible due to the scammers being able to use more advanced tools. For instance, deepfake videos and artificial intelligence have been on the rise to trick and con more people.

In the said report, artists like Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Johnny Deep, and Oscar winner Tom Hanks also make an appearance. At the moment, it’s the need of the hour to be more careful about these scams, especially if a famous face is involved in any such endorsement.
