Star Media Group Berhad, which publishes The Star print products and online portal, refers to Facebook Pages which are running ads leading to a scam site misusing The Star’s brand identity.
It has come to the group’s attention that fraud Facebook pages called “Wildfire Cat Club” and “The Northern Wild”, which have fewer than 20 followers at present, are running multiple misleading advertisements on the Meta social platform.
The scam ads on Facebook share the same text of a false incident, claiming that famed talk show host Stephen Colbert had a heated discussion with Malaysian Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh.
These ads also contain the erroneous claim that “financial information of this magnitude could shake the foundations of Malaysian society.”
