As the F1 legend Michael Schumacher fights for his recovery, scammers make their way to taking advantage by claiming they have the footage of the day Schumacher got into an accident in the French Alps.
The racer has been under observation since he got a traumatic brain injury after a skiing accident last 2013. Ever since it happened, family and friends were discreet. They only released information to the press whenever there’s an update on his health.
Now, scammers are using his plight to gain attention and get money. These people have posted fake videos that supposedly show what happened in Schumacher’s skiing trip.
According to Express, the video has already garnered thousands of views, but there is no verification that it is true. Most of the videos were also unclear and showed no sign of Schumacher being on the Alps. Still, the titles imply that it was Schumacher so people click on it to see if it’s true.
