Deceived by a deepfake video featuring Mark Carney, she believed in a fraudulent investment platform that claimed to have the Bank of Canada’s endorsement. In a desperate move, she invested her life savings and even mortgaged her home. This harrowing experience underscores the severe risks associated with AI-driven scams.
