Examples of such ads include:

- - false celebrity endorsements, such as claiming a celebrity made their money through cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and is encouraging others to do the same
- - false claims that a celebrity or TV programme endorses products such as CBD gummies, diet supplements, or other health products
- - clearly false or outlandish claims for products, for example that a device can save 90% on energy bills, or offering miracle cures.
