The Bank of Greece informs the public that there have been incidents of fraud on the Internet, which exploit the name and image of Governor Giannis Stournaras.
Specifically, fake articles, fake profiles and misleading advertisements show the Governor of the Bank of Greece chatting and clashing with well-known journalists.
The same scenario of Stournarasapati’s alleged clash with a well-known journalist is being used in other Eurosystem countries.
Another series of false and misleading advertisements shows the Governor of the Bank of Greece suggesting the use of an online investment platform.
These practices include false articles, fake profiles and misleading advertisements on social media, with images created using artificial intelligence. These posts direct users to untrustworthy investment or crypto platforms, the CBE concludes.
