Deepfake videos are being employed as part of online scamming schemes. A recent incident involved a man from India who fell victim to such a scam, resulting in a loss of Rs 40,000 (approximately $490).
We have already witnessed deepfake videos featuring famous people such as Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Tom Cruise, and numerous other celebrities or politicians. Some found them amusing, while others were concerned about the implications as deepfake technology continues to progress.
Feeling compelled to help his friend, the victim made an online payment of the requested amount. But later, the same caller requested an additional Rs 35,000 from Radhakrishnan. This raised his suspicion, prompting him to contact his former colleagues to verify the story. It was then that he discovered the call was fraudulent, and he had been duped out of Rs 40,000. The police managed to trace the money, and the associated bank has been instructed to block the amount.
has denounced a"disgraceful" deepfake scam advertisement for an investment app. The advertisement utilizes deepfake technology to replicate the expert's face and voice, persuading individuals to invest in the fraudulent app, potentially resulting in financial losses.A deepfake video is an AI-generated video that convincingly depicts someone else, making distinguishing between real and fake videos challenging.
Video Sizing: When someone is making a fake video call, they often resize the video to fit the webcam window or the app they are using. This resizing distorts the video's proportions, so check for excessively widened or elongated faces.
