What happened
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center issued a public warning that fraudsters were using deepfake videos of senior FBI officials alongside spoofed IC3 websites to re-target previous fraud victims. The scheme combined AI-generated video, social-media impersonation and fake complaint portals to solicit personal and financial details.
