The Ministry of Finance (MOF) wishes to alert the public to a fraudulent video currently circulating on social media platforms which falsely portrays the Minister of Finance, the Honourable Davendranath Tancoo, MP. The video in question utilises manipulated audio and video technology commonly known as a “deepfake” to mimic the Minister’s likeness and voice. In this fictitious footage, the Minister is falsely depicted as endorsing a specific individual, foreign exchange (Forex) trading platforms, and financial investment schemes (specifically referencing “Nadia Sanchez” and “Bullfield Holdings”).
