I almost fall into the same trap too. Luckily i check the website URL, studenties.com, why a CNBC webpage will appear in a different host other than CNBC.com ?

To further confirm whether it's a genuine site, I went straight to the homepage of studenties.com, and wala, it's a site selling some nonsense game.

Without further wasting my time, I click to report the news as scam in facebook

To add on, no government will like Cryptocurrency, they will lose control over their currency if so.
