British police have cracked down on hundreds of thousands of scams, more than half of all cryptocurrency-related scams.

On August 14, the Cointelegraph reported that the UK's National Cyber ​​Security Center (NCSC) had removed more than 300,000 URLs infringing fraudulent business ventures involving famous conspiracy theories in the past four month. More than half of these sites are involved in fraudulent cryptocurrency investment processes. According to an NCSC report, the fraudulent use of actors such as British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and Virgin creator Richard Branson to provide false endorsement has increased, according to the NCSC report. This alerted the police and caused a major emergency.
