Kerala Cyber Police Warn Against Fake Stock Investment Scams Using AI Videos
Cyber police in Kerala have issued warnings about fake stock investment scams circulating on social media. Fraudsters use AI-generated videos of prominent market figures to lure victims via Facebook and Instagram ads, adding them to WhatsApp and Telegram groups under the guise of trading training. Victims are persuaded to use fraudulent apps mimicking legitimate firms, deposit money in phases, and face demands for extra fees when withdrawing funds. Authorities advise investing only through SEBI-registered entities and caution against unknown links.
