Name of footballer used in scam: "Already raised around..."

On the V+Fama broadcast on Friday, August 22, Adriano Silva Martins exposed "yet another scam in the name of Diogo Jota" .

It should be remembered that the Portuguese player died tragically in a car accident in Spain, which also claimed the life of his brother, André Silva .

"The British newspaper The Telegraph reports that there is a Diogo Jota foundation. This organization opened just three days after the footballer's death and has already raised around 54 thousand euros ," the presenter reported.

"This, honestly, is not only serious but it is also exploiting the image of a man who died unexpectedly. I have no words," he lamented.

The commentators present were also outraged by the news.

"This is completely despicable. The strangest thing about this is that I've never seen a fundraising site where donations can only be made in cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency, for those who don't know, is just to avoid any trace, so the money comes in without any trace. If you notice and try to access the site, it's gone," said Guilherme Castelo Branco.

"I don't know who did this, who didn't, it's in very bad taste, it's disgusting, I don't think it should be done. Besides the fraud itself, an entire family destroyed, such exploitation, I think it's a disgrace," reinforced Isabel Figueira.

"No comment, it's horrific. This is the worst of humanity, the depths to which humanity can go, the baseness, the lack of character, the lack of dignity, what money does to people, it's horrific ," agreed António Leal e Silva.
