Instagram fraud posing as Calvin Ayre asking for Bitcoin SV investments

Calvin Ayre, founder of both CoinGeek and CalvinAyre.com, is a noted ambassador for Bitcoin, now reborn in the form of Bitcoin SV (BSV). While he likes to promote growth in the Bitcoin industry, he isn’t picking through Instagram accounts, looking for unsuspecting marks looking to get rich quick.

CalvinAyre.com Editor in Chief Bill Beatty was recently “lucky” enough to be contacted by “Calvin Ayre” over Instagram. Except, it wasn’t the real Calvin Ayre, but rather a fake account under the handle c_ayre_.

Scammers. This should be fun. pic.twitter.com/WzLKpCUmJJ
