Chengdu police busted an AI dating fraud ring, arresting 28 suspects who defrauded over 50 victims of more than one million yuan. The gang used AI-generated male images and voice changers to impersonate high-quality partners on video platforms, selling fake matchmaking services through scripted live streams and fake after-sales interactions. CCTV highlighted the rising threat of such fictitious identity fraud on short video apps, urging platforms to implement risk classification mechanisms and AI content labeling while advising users to verify identities and enhance awareness.
