The Reserve Bank of Fiji issued a renewed warning about a video circulating on digital platforms in Fiji and abroad that falsely portrays the Governor as promoting an investment scheme purportedly administered by the central bank. It said the statements in the video are fabricated using artificial intelligence and that the Reserve Bank of Fiji does not engage in or endorse any platform that promotes automatic trading. The central bank warned the public not to make investment decisions based on the video and cautioned against individuals claiming to be agents of the purported platform, including attempts to obtain personal information via links or through telephone calls. It urged potential investors to verify information sources, remain vigilant against increasingly sophisticated scams, report suspicious content to the Reserve Bank of Fiji, and requested media institutions to help raise public awareness across traditional and digital channels.
