Perhaps they ought to stick to just reporting the weather ..

The bureau is one of the only publicly owned agencies to allow advertising on its website.
Advertisements for scam pages have appeared on the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) website.

The ads appeared in January and February this year, and took users to a fake CNN news story about Bitcoin. The page looks exactly like the CNN tech website and contains the byline of a CNN reporter.

The fake story about a new Bitcoin start up run by Elon Musk encouraged readers to click on links that connected to websites known to be Bitcoin scams.

Just in case it is another scam. :lol:
