BNM and the SC warn of deepfakes of their senior officers

14 Oct 2026

Fake videos of central bank and Securities Commission officers are being used to sell investment schemes. Check before you trust any video, call or voice note.

Bank Negara Malaysia shows examples at bnm.gov.my/verify and asks the public to check its Financial Consumer Alert List and the SC's Investor Alert List. In September, Johor police reported a company administrator who transferred RM110,000 after a caller posing as her director gave payment instructions; police were checking whether his voice was cloned. See Deepfakes and payment fraud in the safety section for a simple team rule.
