In an interesting case, one of the Elon Musk giveaway scams was so convincing that the news team at Sky News picked it up and reported it as part of their news article.

This exchange or platform is based in United Kingdom, or the incident targeted people primarily in United Kingdom.

== About Sky News ==
"The billionaire entrepreneur has sent engineers to help the boys, aged 11 to 16, and their football coach who have been stuck in a cave following a flash flood for almost two weeks."

Musk tweeted on Saturday: "Some good feedback from cave experts in Thailand.

"Will do my best to help the team," he tweeted, before adding: "The team will dig deep and will help at the best of ability."

Among his tweets about the rescue, he also said: “But let’s not submit to the bad mood entirely. And for that I have a surprise to brighten up the day.”

"He then tweeted a link to a Tesla giveaway."

This exchange or platform is based in United Kingdom, or the incident targeted people primarily in United Kingdom.

The background of the exchange platform, service, or individuals involved, as it would have been seen or understood at the time of the events.

Include:

* Known history of when and how the service was started.
* What problems does the company or service claim to solve?
* What marketing materials were used by the firm or business?
* Audits performed, and excerpts that may have been included.
* Business registration documents shown (fake or legitimate).
* How were people recruited to participate?
* Public warnings and announcements prior to the event.

Don't Include:

* Any wording which directly states or implies that the business is/was illegitimate, or that a vulnerability existed.
* Anything that wasn't reasonably knowable at the time of the event.
There could be more than one section here. If the same platform is involved with multiple incidents, then it can be linked to a main article page.

== The Reality ==
This sections is included if a case involved deception or information that was unknown at the time. Examples include:

* When the service was actually started (if different than the "official story").
* Who actually ran a service and their own personal history.
* How the service was structured behind the scenes. (For example, there was no "trading bot".)
* Details of what audits reported and how vulnerabilities were missed during auditing.

== What Happened ==
The specific events of the loss and how it came about. What actually happened to cause the loss and some of the events leading up to it.
