Deepfake giveaways
Fake livestreams or videos with a well-known face that promise to send back double the crypto you send.
- What it means
- The face and voice can be copied or made with AI; nobody doubles your crypto, and coins sent to the scammer usually cannot be recovered.
- What to watch
- A "send 1, get 2 back" promise, a QR code or address on screen, and a countdown that pushes you to act fast.
- How Compass-Alpha uses it
