Mexican singer<\/a> Thalia has been the victim of a sophisticated digital scam in which her image and voice were manipulated by artificial intelligence (AI) to promote a fraudulent scheme on social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through a Facebook page called “Silvia Flores”, a video was disseminated in which, allegedly, Thalia invites her followers to invest 900 Mexican pesos with the promise of quick profits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The clip, generated using AI techniques known as “deepfake,” shows the artist promoting what appears to be a legitimate financial opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, it is a trap designed to deceive users and obtain illicit benefits<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The video redirects to a Telegram group called “Silvia Flores Trading”, where alleged screenshots are shared showing profits obtained by those who “invested”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The group’s description claims to have “more than 3,000 satisfied Mexicans” and to be “officially licensed by the state,” but all indications are that it is a well-armed hoax<\/span>.<\/p>\n

How do these AI scams operate?<\/h2>\n

Cybercriminals use AI tools to create fake videos that mimic celebrities or public figures, making them appear to promote products or investments.<\/span><\/p>\n

These contents are disseminated on social networks and messaging platforms to gain the trust of victims and convince them to hand over money or personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, Thalia’s image and voice were used without her consent to give credibility to the fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the singer has not commented on the matter, the use of her identity in this context represents a violation of her privacy and a threat to her followers.<\/span><\/p>\n
