Repeated Scam Attempts

The prefect praising the merits of an investment platform, the president of the territorial collectivity following suit a few days later, elected officials “photographed” standing between two police officers… Attempts at online scams and identity theft have been on the rise in recent weeks. While artificial intelligence has many useful applications, it can also be used to generate images featuring the faces of public figures. To use them for nefarious purposes. This is why several complaints have been filed with the gendarmerie. By Prefect Cyrille Le Vely, by Territorial Council President Xavier Lédée, and also by Senator Micheline Jacques. Le Journal de Saint-Barth, whose graphic design has been plagiarized on several occasions to lend credibility to the fake images, has also reported these activities.
