PIB: AI-Generated Videos of Sitharaman Promote Investment Scams
Some videos on social media falsely show Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman endorsing investment schemes.
These videos are made using AI and promise very high returns, like tripling your money quickly or earning a lot each month.
The government's fact-checking team, PIB, has said these videos are fake and meant to trick people.
They warn people to be careful about promises of easy money and to always check information before investing.
PIB Fact Check confirms that AI-generated videos of Nirmala Sitharaman are promoting fake investment schemes.
The videos falsely promise extremely high returns, such as tripling investments in a day.
One video claims an investment of Rs 22,000 could yield Rs 10 lakh monthly.
Another video allegedly endorses 'QuantumAl,' promising Rs 20 lakh monthly returns from a Rs 21,000 investment.
The PIB Fact Check advises the public to be cautious of such fraudulent content and high-return promises.
