Gobsmacked Molly-Mae targeted by AI scam as she issues warning to fans over TikTok video

The Suna day ago
MOLLY-MAE Hague has been left gobsmacked and issued a warning to her fans after being impersonated in a deepfake video.
The influencer and Love Island star, 26, has a huge online following of impressionable fans that lap up her content.

And Molly-Mae has moved to distance herself from a viral AI video that appears to show her endorsing Arabiyat Prestige Nyla perfume.
The mum-of-one only became aware of the fake ad when fans approached her in the street to tell her how much they loved the fragrance.
In her latest YouTube vlog, Molly-Mae said: "When I was in London these girls came up to me and told me they had bought my favourite perfume.
"I asked them which one and she said 'oh the Nyla one from TikTok'.
"I was gobsmacked and didn't have the heart to tell her that it's AI.
"There's this clip going round on TikTok, which they do with loads of celebrities, where it's me, saying 'oh I love this perfume' in my voice, but it's AI.
"How scary. And then people are actually buying it thinking I like but I have never even smelt it."
The perfume retails for £31.99 and, in the fake ad, Molly calls the scent "unbelievable" and like "heaven".
The people behind the deepfake have used a clip of Molly talking about the £275 Vanitas Profumum Roma from a video she posted four years ago.
And she's not the only celeb whose identity has been hijacked by the brand, Rihanna 's has too, as well.
Molly-Mae Hague slammed for 'always complaining' as she reveals 'struggles' on £86k motorhome holiday with Tommy Fury
Some fans who have ordered the perfume through the link in the advert have complained they never received the product.
The use of celebrity deepfakes is all too common, with a whole range of A-list stars' identities being used to try and con people out of money.
One woman gave over £700,000 to a scammer posing as Brad Pitt for 'cancer treatment' after he wrote her poems and proposed to her.
Paul Davis, 43, from Southampton, was cruelly scammed out of £200 after being sweet-talked by a fake Jennifer Aniston begging for cash for 'Apple subscriptions'.
Crooks are able to harness celebrities' voices and likenesses for their own gain.
Cybercriminals find audio clips online and feed them into commercially available software to produce words and even full sentences in someone's voice.
This process is known as voice cloning, and the result is commonly referred to as an audio deepfake.
The term "deepfake" was coined in 2017 to describe illicit images and videos that featured celebrities' faces superimposed onto other bodies.

Love Island fans 'fuming' as they 'work out real reason' for Megan and Blu's shock return

Love Island fans were left in shock last night as it was revealed dumped Islanders Megan and Blu would be making their way back to the villa tonight in a shock twist If a double dumping wasn't enough shock for Love Island fans last night as it was revealed dumped Islanders Megan and Blu would be making their way back to the villa. Fans think they've 'worked out' the reason why - as they fear for Conor and Shakira's relationship. ‌ The news came after Emma and Borris were brutally dumped from the Island. It came after Maya Jama crashed the Love Island festival to deliver the news of the public vote. It was revealed that Yasmin and Toni and Cach and Ty had received the most votes. ‌ Maya then disclosed the least popular Islanders. Billykiss, Emma, and Angel were among the least popular girls and Boris, Conor, and Harry among the boys. With the revelation that those with the least votes would be leaving, the villa was hit with the bombshell that Emma and Boris were the ones to be dumped. ‌ However, it didn't stop there as Maya revealed that the most popular Islanders would have to choose who to send home between Billykiss and Angel - as the numbers of boys and girls needed to be evened up. However, fans were left on a cliffhanger and will have to wait until tonight to find out who goes. The cliffhanger was followed by another bombshell, as viewers were told Megan and Blu would be re entering the villa tonight. Megan expressed her anticipation, saying: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." ‌ Megan had just struck up a connection with Conor before being booted out of the villa. She left alongside Remell last month after she was voted as one of the least popular contestants - however, she's back for another chance. After Megan left, Conor connected with a number of Islanders but nothing seemed to work. He brought back Harry's ex Emma from Casa Amor, but things didn't work out. He'd been friends with Shakira from the start - and the two later explored a connection. She then broke things off with Casa Amor's Ty to pursue things with Conor. Despite a few blips, the pair have been going strong - but there may be trouble in paradise as Megan makes her return. Fans have been left fuming as they think Megan has been brought back to drive a wedge between Conor and Shakira weeks before the final. ‌ Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter when the announcement was made, one fan penned: "Irish meg will recouple with Conor & shakira will be dumped…" as another disappointed fan said: "wait they're trying to break conor and shakira up fr by bringing those two in!" A third said: "They are going to push a Conor and Megan rekindle, oh poor Shakira." ‌ Another questioned: "Why have they brought Megan back and blu back? And are pushing Harry and Helena to end? Are they tryna make Shakira choose between getting back with Harry or Blu? Someone explain it all to me." Others were left questioning why the two had been brought back. "bringing back megan and blu WHO ASKED??? #LoveIsland" questioned one, while another said: "Really though.. why tf are Megan & Blu coming back???!" However, some fans were over the moon at the return, with one writing: "loved megan so much so i'm glad she's back," as another said: "i stopped watching during the toni harrison lauren drama but now that irish megan is coming back?? oh im sat." Speaking about his return Blu, who was dumped at the start of the season said: "There's a bit of open space now and people know the game a little bit more, so hopefully the couple of girls I've got my eyes on are willing to explore. I told you all from the get go I'm not leaving and I'm not f***ing leaving!"
