SBI Warns Against Deepfake Scams: Don't Rush to Send Money!

• State Bank of India (SBI) has issued an alert regarding deepfake scams, urging customers to be cautious.
• Cyber fraudsters are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create fake videos, voices, and photos to deceive people.
• SBI advises against trusting urgent requests for money, especially if from someone impersonating a trusted contact like family or friends.
• Deepfake technology creates realistic replicas of voices or videos, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish fakes.
• In case of cyber fraud, immediately call helpline 1930 or file a complaint on cybercrime.gov.in.

Why It Matters: Be vigilant against deepfake scams; verify urgent money requests through official channels before sending funds.
