These days, many people are routinely targeted by fake emails, fraudulent lottery messages, or counterfeit police letters. Or posts impersonating news outlets.

On Friday, RTL Luxembourg was once again targeted, this time on the social media platform Instagram. Several users reached out to the editorial team.

The incident involved an advertisement generated by artificial intelligence, and RTL’s editorial team can only intervene when it appears on the platform in question.

However, you can help. If you come across this or similar messages, or advertisements on social media or other media outlets, you can report the content directly to the platform.
