Overview
- Scammers circulated an AI-generated video falsely depicting Lara Lewington being attacked to push a bogus 'Quantum AI' investment scheme.
- Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Lewis told viewers he is not involved in any investment programmes and urged, "Don't trust them."
- Lewis said he has no faith in social media firms to remove such ads, accusing platforms of taking money to host fraudulent content.
- He asked the public to report the posts and confirmed his wife was not harmed and that no such investment scheme exists.
- Coverage places the incident within ongoing policy efforts, with delayed Online Safety Act scam-ad rules and ministers signaling further action on AI-driven harms.
