Taylor Swift deepfakes are pushing scams on TikTok
Summary
Scammers are creating deepfakes (AI-generated fake videos that realistically mimic real people) of celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rihanna on TikTok to trick users into fake reward programs. These deepfakes often manipulate real footage with AI and use TikTok's official branding to appear legitimate, but they redirect users to third-party websites that steal personal information.
