TL;DR Breakdown
• Elon Musk’s Starlink has a fake website in Iran.
• The Bitcoin scams are increasing with virtual market regularizations.

Hackers use Elon Musk’s image for a Bitcoin scam
Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has created controversy over crypto and has many fans. This fame is attributed to his posts about Bitcoin and the crypto meme Dogecoin. However, many Bitcoin scam systems use the Musk image to attract victims.
The American satellite company Starlink where Musk operates with SpaceX has been affected by these crypto scams. The fraudulent service offers fast internet connection options to users in the Iranian region. There is even the “Beta” alternative so that interested people can have it.
Not only is the distinct writing indicative of a scam, but it also asks for a subscription so users can buy tokens. After payment, users must answer personal questions for the service information to be released.
If the user compares the fraudulent website with the official one, he will notice that the process is very different. Even Starlink allows you to cancel the service with TDC when the whole process is complete.
Another thing that differentiates the Bitcoin scam from the legitimate satellite company is the cost of the service. The fake website asks for $30 per month, while the official Starlink asks for $99. Musk’s company has discount plans for bulk payments.
