Deepfake Fraud Scams Exploit Trust Through Fake Voices and Videos

Deepfake fraud uses artificial intelligence to make fake videos, pictures, or voices of real people.

Criminals use these fakes to pretend to be someone you trust.

They may ask for money, passwords, OTPs, or banking information.

They often create a sense of urgency so you do not have time to check the request.

Strange blinking, poor lip-sync, odd lighting, or a robotic voice can be warning signs.

A familiar face or voice is not enough proof that a call is genuine.

Contact the person again using a trusted phone number before taking action.

Avoid suspicious links and keep fewer personal recordings available publicly.

Suspected fraud can be reported to Indian cybercrime authorities.
