Comedian Tim McGarry says he has been targeted by crypto scammers through online messages and schemes. In an interview reported by the Belfast Telegraph, McGarry describes how scam accounts attempt to draw people into fraudulent crypto activity, including impersonation-style approaches that can appear connected to well-known figures. He says he does not expect any real contact from Elon Musk, despite scam messaging that references prominent names to appear credible. McGarry’s comments reflect a wider pattern of crypto-related scams that use social media and direct outreach to trick victims into sending money or sharing sensitive information. The report does not provide details of any specific financial losses or legal action, but it highlights the tactics used by scammers and the impact such targeting can have on public figures and their audiences. McGarry’s account emphasizes the importance of skepticism toward unsolicited crypto offers and claims, particularly when they are delivered through unsolicited online contact.
