Dozens of fake advertisements claiming online gambling is live at Beau Rivage Resort and Casino were posted on Facebook and other social media sites this week.
A search showed about 40 advertisements dated Monday were posted on Facebook with indications the ads also are on Instagram and were sent by Messenger.
The bogus ads use different pictures but all claim the same thing: That Beau Rivage is “officially” online for betting, with a $1,000 welcome bonus and 100 FS, which would indicate free spins.
The person or artificial intelligence program that created the ads lifted the Beau Rivage logos and photos of the casino exterior in downtown Biloxi from the legitimate Beau Rivage website, along with what looks to be a Beau Rivage slot machine ticket to anyone who has played at the casino.
