The Bank of Greece wishes to inform the public that there have been instances of online fraud exploiting the name and image of Governor Yannis Stournaras.
Specifically, false articles, fake profiles, and misleading advertisements depict Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras conversing and clashing with well-known journalists.
The same scenario of an alleged clash between the central bank governor and a well-known journalist is also being used in other countries of the Eurosystem.
Another series of false and misleading advertisements depicts Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras recommending the use of an online investment platform.
These practices include false articles, fake profiles, and misleading advertisements on social media, featuring images created using artificial intelligence. The relevant posts direct users to unreliable investment or crypto platforms.
