Understanding Deepfakes

Deepfake technology allows the insertion of anyone’s face into a video and even alters what they are saying. In this scenario, criminals employ videos of celebrities, manipulating their statements to encourage betting based on people’s trust.

The Scam Unraveled

Upon entering the fake gambling site, users are prompted to register with an email, password, and name. Initially, users may win several bets, accumulating a substantial amount on the platform. However, when attempting to withdraw, they are informed that a minimum deposit is required to verify their account.

These fraudulent sites often claim that the victim will receive up to five times the deposited amount, enticing deposits ranging from R$30 – R$100 (US$5 – US$20). Sadly, none of the funds are returned, as it’s all part of the scam.

Protecting Yourself

Recognizing a deepfake can be challenging, given the evolving nature of this technology. However, signs of video manipulation include facial and body anomalies, lack of synchronization between facial expressions and lip movements, as well as lighting and shading issues.
