Red Flags & Warnings

High-profile target for impersonation and crypto/meme-coin scams — many third-party reports document fake "CR7" tokens and deepfake promotions using Ronaldo's likeness.
External link visible on profile (http://avacr7.com/en) — external links can be legitimate but are a common vector for phishing; treat redirects cautiously.
Past controversies and legal claims reported in news (e.g., public legal & media disputes) increase noise and amplify impersonation risk.

What's Good?

Verified account (is_verified = true) owned by Cristiano Ronaldo with consistent cross-posted brand partnerships and coauthorship in posts (e.g., Binance and official league accounts).
Large, stable follower count (~665M) and very high engagement on recent posts (likes and video view counts in the millions).
Broad presence and coverage across major platforms and news sources (search results and Google/YouTube references) matching the same handle and public identity.

Recommended actions

1

Use the blue verification badge and the official URL (https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/) as the primary source for announcements and partner links.
2

Never trust unsolicited DMs or posts that ask you to send money, buy tokens, or click unfamiliar payment links — especially crypto promos claiming to be “CR7” unless posted by the verified account.
3

Before clicking profile external links, preview the destination (open in a browser tab and check domain ownership) and avoid entering sensitive information on unfamiliar domains.
4

Report impersonator or deepfake accounts to Instagram and block accounts that request payments or promote get-rich-quick schemes in Cristiano’s name.
5

If you see a suspicious giveaway or token claiming Ronaldo endorsement, cross-check major news sources (e.g., CoinCentral coverage of the August 2025 fake “CR7” token) before any action.
