The FCAA advised prospective investors to get a second opinion and seek professional advice about investments and to avoid allowing unknown or unverified individuals remote access to any of your devices.

“Never make an investment decision based on a notable figure endorsement,” the authority added in a statement.

A.I. literacy and critical thinking skills are so important...
