MEDIA / LIVESTREAM IMPERSONATION

A Livestream Shows a Famous Investor Promising Returns. Trace the Offer Outside the Video

A face and voice in a live-looking feed are not proof of identity. Record the offer, then verify the account and regulator record away from the stream.

Why live-looking video does not authenticate an investment offer

Recorded footage, cloned voices, rebroadcast interviews, and synthetic presenters can all be packaged with live comments and countdown graphics.

Investment registration, official account history, and independently published contact details provide stronger evidence than visual realism.

The protocol

  1. Do not scan the on-screen code, call its number, or send cryptocurrency.
  2. Save the page URL, account handle, offer language, and time viewed.
  3. Find the person's or firm's official site independently and compare linked accounts.
  4. Check the seller or professional using the appropriate securities regulator database.
  5. Report the account and preserve the report confirmation.
