## Resource

An Ontario woman lost $83,000 after being duped by a crypto scam that used a deepfake video of Prime Minister Mark Carney—first tricking her into investing $13,000, then luring her into a second $70,000 payout over months of psychological manipulation. The Prime Minister’s office confirmed criminals are weaponizing AI deepfakes to exploit public trust, urging Canadians to stay vigilant and warning that while AI offers innovation, it’s also being abused for fraud. The government is pushing for stronger online safety laws and responsible tech use, while cybersecurity experts stress: never invest based on social media, and always consult trusted people before handing over money.
