</style><p><strong></strong>&quot;Last year when we published our identity fraud report, we saw a trend of more than 1,430 percent increase in the Southeast Asia region due to deepfakes. Very closely to that, in Philippines there [is] 4,400 percent growth between 2022-2023,&quot; Chai said.</p><p>&quot;This has been very believable because people find that hey, if my idol or my mayor is already talking about this product, it must be safe. So they are unwittingly going into purchases or investments that are fake,&quot; she explained.</p><div><strong>--ANC, 13 September 2023</strong></div>
