| Social media deepfake scams are back
|
Deepfake scam videos are created using artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate footage. And we've found five new deepfake videos of celebrities peddling a phoney investment firm called Quantum AI – a scam we've seen before.
This scam works by luring people in on social media with promises of making you quick and easy cash, only to leave victims out of pocket when they can’t withdraw returns or get their investment back. See the latest examples we've found so you know what to look out for.
