Incident 12872 Report
Purported Deepfake-Based Facebook Impersonation Reportedly Targets Daughter of Scot in Coma

2025-11-26

Scammers allegedly created a fake Facebook profile impersonating a Scottish woman, Teigan McMahon, raising funds for her father, who was reportedly in a coma in Turkey. The account reportedly reused her photos and posts and was described as using purportedly AI-generated or deepfake-style content to solicit donations. The impersonation forced the family to pause their legitimate fundraiser while the fake profile remained online.
