AI-powered financial scams flood social media ads now
⚠️ AI-driven deepfake ads on social media are increasingly used to impersonate banks, celebrities and news outlets to lure victims into investment fraud. Campaigns observed in 2024–2025, including the Nomani Trojan activity, use fake or hijacked accounts, localized messaging and deepfake testimonials to harvest credentials or steer targets into scam groups. Reported losses from investment fraud are substantial, so verify offers independently and avoid clicking unsolicited financial ads.
