Ed Sheeran, Bear Grylls, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland have all had their names exploited in scam tweets. So, ironically, has Elon Musk.
I’ll admit this much, Âfraudsters on Twitter can be horribly clever.
Their scam begins with a striking post supposedly showing Ed Sheeran screaming as he’s arrested and says: “Prepare yourself for the Âastonishing truth that Ed has uncovered.”
Other tweets with similar messages show adventurer Bear Grylls and actors Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Holland apparently being tackled by police.
It comes days after Martin Lewis, the founder of Money Saving Expert, warned that he’d been the victim of a deep fake in which AI was used to mimic his face and voice.
