The royal press office has detected TikTok videos that use artificial intelligence to imitate the voice of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim.
Fake aid claims during Ramadan
According to a statement posted on Sultan Ibrahim’s official Facebook page, the videos circulated content claiming the king is offering financial aid to the public during Ramadan.
The royal press office warned that such fake accounts are frequently used by scammers to carry out fraudulent activities on social media platforms.
Public urged to stay vigilant
“The public is advised to remain vigilant and not be easily influenced by these fake accounts,” the statement said.
It added that impersonating others and misusing someone’s identity are criminal offenses.
Verification on platform
Checks on TikTok identified two videos that featured images and a voice resembling that of Sultan Ibrahim.
The royal press office reiterated its call for caution to prevent members of the public from falling victim to scams, especially during the fasting month.
