In scams this technique is used to build trust: the victim believes they are watching a known entrepreneur or news broadcast, while everything has been fabricated.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you recognise a deepfake in a crypto scam?<\/h2>\n<p>Watch for unnatural mouth and eye movements, a voice track that is slightly out of sync, and above all the message itself: a guaranteed high return or pressure to invest quickly is a stronger warning sign than the image.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"DefinedTerm\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/deepfake\/#term\",\"name\":\"Deepfake\",\"alternateName\":[\"AI deepfake\",\"fake video\"],\"description\":\"A deepfake is an AI-generated fake video, audio clip or image in which a real person appears to say or do something that never actually happened.\",\"inDefinedTermSet\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/deepfake\/\"},{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you recognise a deepfake in a crypto scam?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Watch for unnatural mouth and eye movements, a voice track that is slightly out of sync, and above all the message itself: a guaranteed high return or pressure to invest quickly is a stronger warning sign than the image.\"}}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Glossary\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Technical terms\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Deepfake\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/paucitas.com\/en\/glossary\/technical-terms\/deepfake\/\"}]}]}<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- pcb-faq start --><\/p>\n<div class=\"pcb-faq\" style=\"margin:48px 0 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background:#243029;color:#FBF4EC;border-radius:14px 14px 0 0;padding:18px 24px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin:0;color:#FBF4EC;font-size:1.25em;\">More questions about deepfakes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#FBF4EC;border:1px solid #eee;border-top:none;border-radius:0 0 14px 14px;padding:22px 24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:18px 0 6px;color:#243029;font-size:1.05em;\">What do I do if a deepfake persuaded me to invest?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Record what you saw and did: the video or voice, the platform and the transfers.
