| Deepfake scams warning |
Last year, we exposed a global financial scam called Quantum AI, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to impersonate well-known people, aiming to lure victims into dodgy investment schemes.
It's now reappeared, but this time on YouTube, where we found eight dodgy videos.
Take a look at what we uncovered and what you can do to avoid falling victim to similar AI scams.

| 30% of bank transfer fraud claims are rejected |
A year ago, new rules were introduced, requiring firms to reimburse victims of bank transfer fraud (when you accidentally transfer money to a scammer) within five business days in all but exceptional cases. The good news is that the reimbursement rates are relatively high, however 30% of claims were rejected in first nine months of the scheme.
Find out how it works and
how to fight your corner if a claim gets rejected and you think you've been treated unfairly.
