Scam call centres are now using ‘deepfake’ videos to make their scams look more realistic. In a ‘deepfake’ clip circling online, a policeman from Chon Buri appears to be talking, but his strange mouth movements give away that the video is not real. A netizen posted the clip online to warn others not to fall for the scam.
The clip shows a video call between a ‘police officer’ and a desired victim. However, the victim didn’t fall for the trick as they could tell the scammer was using deepfake technology to pose as a police officer because of his mouth movements. When the scammer laughed, it created unnatural looking movements on the police officer’s face. The innocent citizen played along with the scam and recorded the call and later posted the clip on TikTok to warn other members of the public not to fall for the scam.
