Ace investor Vijay Kedia on Wednesday issued a warning to his followers on social media after a deepfake video imitating him was spotted doing rounds on the internet.
Sharing the video, which shows a man seeming to look and sound like the investor, Kedia said it was fake.
In the video, the man imitating Kedia is seen recommending three stocks that will give 20x returns in a month to investors.
The man in the video even goes on to say that “today is the best opportunity” to invest in those stocks. He then asks investors to join his channel for “free” to get to know about the three stocks.
Kedia in his post said that the video was not of him.
“Someone made a fake video of me advising shares. The face is mine, the voice is mine… but suddenly, I sound like I studied in Oxford and grew up in New York,” Kedia said in a post on X.
“If you ever hear me speaking perfect English with a Western accent, just know—it’s not me,” he added.
The market veteran also asked his followers to verify everything before trusting these videos, and to beware of them.
“Beware of fake videos—verify before you trust, or your money might end up in the wrong hands,” he said.
