Kent Officers are aware of scams that impersonate famous people using artificial intelligence to create videos endorsing fake investment schemes on social media. These videos will give an element of authenticity and are intended to make people trust what they are seeing.

🚨This is a scam.

Be cautious in investing in schemes promoted on social media. Never assume or believe that what you are seeing is genuine. Carry out your own research and seek independent financial advice.
