Over 200 victims lose ₹2 crore in Karnataka’s AI Trump video scam

Over 200 residents of Karnataka have fallen prey to a new fraud where cybercriminals used an AI-generated video of former US President Donald Trump, convincing them to invest for higher returns. The victims have reportedly lost over ₹2 crore in the scam.

While over 15 people have reportedly been duped under the scam in Haveri alone, many people from Bengaluru, Tumakuru, and Mangaluru have also fallen prey to it, the police said, as reported by The Indian Express.
