KERATAN AKHBAR PILIHAN: SCAMMERS EMBRACE AI-GENERATED LOVE

Petaling Jaya, 16th August 2026 – While most dream of a fairy tale love story, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has given scammers yet another tool to sell victims an illusion before disappearing with their money.

Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Director, CP Dato’ Rusdi Mohd Isa said the use of AI in love scams is a development that is viewed seriously by the police.

“The CCID views this with serious concern, particularly technologies capable of generating realistic-looking images, voice recordings and videos that could potentially be used in love scams.

“Based on officially recorded statistics, love scam cases are not specifically classified according to the use of AI, deepfake technology, face-swapping technology or fake video calls.

“Therefore, the CCID is currently unable to provide specific figures on the use of such technologies in love scams.

Kuala Lumpur, 16th August 2026 – Billions of ringgit in losses have been incurred by Malaysians through scams.

With syndicates continuing to exploit trust, fear and human behaviour, experts stress that public education and awareness are more important than ever.

British Graduates Association Malaysia, president Datuk Kamarudin Md Ali, citing statistics from the Royal Malaysia Police, said Malaysia recorded more than 66,000 online scam cases in 2025, involving losses of approximately RM2.97 billion.

“These figures remind us that scams are no longer isolated incidents. They have become a serious national challenge affecting individuals, families and businesses across the country.

Combating this threat requires collective responsibility, where every informed citizen becomes another line of defence against scammers,” he said.

He also noted that scam syndicates have become increasingly sophisticated, using digital platforms, artificial intelligence and social engineering to deceive unsuspecting victims.
