Använda en deepfake för att utge sig för att vara kronprinsen av Dubai för att lura människor i romantiska förhållanden.

A woman named Maria met a scammer on a dating platform who used deepfake technology to impersonate the Crown Prince of Dubai in video calls. The deepfake images and lip movements matched the prince, though the voice was not his, leading Maria to believe she was in a romantic relationship. She transferred 100,000 pesos to the scammer under the pretext of obtaining a wedding certificate and royal membership card, and later paid an additional 60,000 pesos for a hotel room when the scammer suggested meeting in person. Maria discovered the scammer's Facebook account was registered in Nigeria, not the Middle East, and immediately ended contact. The incident is part of a broader ecosystem of scams using the prince's image and writings to deceive victims into sending money to foreign banks or cryptocurrency.
