Các quan chức New York cảnh báo rằng deepfake AI và các dự án tiền điện tử giả mạo đang khiến các vụ lừa đảo đầu tư trở nên tinh vi hơn

The Huoxing Finance report states that New York state officials have warned that AI-generated content and fraudulent crypto projects are making investment scams more deceptive. Investment fraud losses have exceeded $8.7 billion, a 38% increase from 2024, with 144,041 consumers reporting losses, and a median loss of $10,560 per incident. AI can be used to clone voices, forge videos, impersonate financial professionals, and create social media advertisements. New York Attorney General Letitia James previously warned that scammers attract investors through celebrity deepfake endorsements, fake cryptocurrencies, pump-and-dump schemes, and fraudulent trading platforms. Some fake platforms display fabricated account balances, returns, and transaction records, and allow victims to make small withdrawals to build trust before demanding additional funds or fees. New York state officials advise consumers to verify the identities of promoters, companies, and investment projects, and confirm where their funds are going. According to data from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), reported losses from cybercrime totaled $20.877 billion, with $11.37 billion in complaints involving cryptocurrencies. Common signs of fraud include promises of high returns, unsolicited investment offers, high-pressure sales tactics, and projects lacking clear documentation.
