The Central Bank of Sri Lanka strongly warns the public about fraudulent AI-generated videos misusing the CBSL Governor’s image currently circulating on social media, particularly Facebook.
These deceptive videos falsely portray the CBSL Governor as endorsing investment schemes that promise extraordinary financial returns. They also direct viewers to a suspicious external link, likely aimed at defrauding unsuspecting individuals.
CBSL categorically denies any involvement in such promotions and emphasises that it does not engage in or endorse any investment schemes, whatsoever. These videos are clear attempts by fraudulent parties to mislead the public using deep-fake technology and AI-generated content.
