Incident 12371 Report
Alleged Deepfake Video of Anthony Albanese Promotes Fake AUFIRST 'Tax Dividend' Trading Platform

2025-08-04

Purported deepfake videos of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, featuring a synthetic voice with an American accent, were reportedly used in scam advertisements on YouTube in mid-2025. They reportedly claimed that Australians could earn thousands per month through an automated cryptocurrency trading platform called AUFIRST, framed as a government "tax dividend." Viewers were reportedly directed to a fraudulent site and urged to invest $400.
