Recognising deepfake fraud

Deepfake technology can create or alter video so convincingly that fabricated content appears real. It can be used in fraud, blackmail and disinformation, putting individuals and organisations at risk.

Do not assume that a video on social media is authentic because it looks convincing. Check its source and verify the information before believing it, sharing it or acting on it.

Even something that appears to be clear evidence may have been manipulated. Taking time to check can help protect you and others from fraud.
