Scam Alert: Fake political endorsement of investment scams

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Images and deepfake videos of New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Elon Musk are used to send people to fake online news stories promoting investment scams.

Examples of fake news stories include:
• Claims that New Zealanders will receive “income” or “dividend” payments from Inland Revenue Department (IRD). The IRD has confirmed these claims are false. There is no pool of tax funds becoming available for distribution to New Zealanders.
• Claims that pension payments have been cancelled. These stories are designed to promote fear about the stability of New Zealand’s superannuation system.
• Claims that the government has significantly lowered the retirement age.
• Claims that the government or politicians are endorsing specific investment opportunities for New Zealanders.
