I can only think of Matt Damon's somewhat notorious Crypto.com commercial, which has been lampooned so many times. There are others, I'm sure.

Spike Lee, rather horrifyingly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAZ7beWo0I
Wow, they dressed him up exactly like Lyle Lanley singing Springfield a monorail song.
Funny thing is that there was a disclaimer at the end of that one.
Yeah, I think they knew that one was on shaky ground as far as Ponzi schemes were concerned =)
The way these scams work is they use celebrity names and images without permission. Completely different from the Matt Damon case and similar cases, where the celebrity is actually involved.
