The Government today warned the public not to trust a fake video created using artificial intelligence being circulated online about an investment plan with high returns purported to be recommended by the Chief Executive.

It clarified that the video is totally fictitious with fraudulent intent and strongly condemned those who attempted deception in the name of the Chief Executive.

The Government reminded members of the public to not be taken in by similar investment-related advertisements or promotional videos and not provide their personal information online, sign up for mobile applications or open any links.

People should remain vigilant and verify the authenticity of such content, it added.

The incident has been referred to Police for investigation.
