Deepfake Scam Alert: Nirmala Sitharaman Video Promotes Fake Investment Scheme

• A deepfake video of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, created using AI, is promoting a fraudulent investment scheme.
• The video falsely claims an official document with her and PM Modi's signatures, and SEBI certification, to lure investors.
• The scam promises unrealistic returns, like Rs. 65,000 from a Rs. 20,000 investment in hours, and up to Rs. 20 lakhs monthly.
• PIB Fact Check confirmed the video is fake and digitally altered, warning that neither the Minister nor the government promotes such platforms.
• Public advised to verify investment info from official sources, report suspicious content, and be wary of high-return, quick-decision schemes.
