The Romanian Police issued a statement warning that deepfakes and images generated by artificial intelligence are being used by criminals to mislead citizens. These advanced technologies are utilized in financial scams, such as trading scams and charity fraud, where victims are directed to fake websites to lose their savings. Additionally, criminals create fake profiles for romance scams, using AI-generated images. Statistics from 2025 show an alarming increase in fraud attempts, with global financial losses amounting to tens of billions of dollars annually.

The police recommend that citizens be cautious and verify the sources of information, not to transfer money to individuals known only online, and to use two-factor authentication. They also emphasize the negative impact of deepfakes on trust in media and political manipulation, with examples of fake videos spreading misinformation. In conclusion, the IGPR urges vigilance and reporting of suspicious content to prevent scams.
