Alleged Deepfake of Luis Suárez Used to Scam Uruguayans in Fake Investment Scheme
2024-12-26
On December 26, 2024, UTE, Uruguay's public utility company, warned of an alleged deepfake video circulating on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. The video reportedly features manipulated images and voice of footballer Luis Suárez, falsely promoting an investment scheme claiming a 10,400 peso investment could yield 175,000 pesos monthly. It also reportedly uses AI-altered Telemundo footage. UTE urged the public not to share personal data, as the scam links to phishing sites posing as official sources.
