Overview
- A synthetic video circulating on social media falsely shows the Rajya Sabha member endorsing outsized returns and pushing same‑day sign‑ups through a link.
- The link leads to a cloned website built to capture user details for identity theft, phishing and financial fraud, according to reporting.
- Murty told PTI she will never promote investments and advised people to think carefully and check with a bank or trusted source before committing money.
- A Karnataka Portfolio post publicly flagged the video and tagged Bengaluru City Police as warnings spread across social platforms.
- As of December 19, coverage reports public alerts but no arrests, takedowns or confirmed police action addressing the scam.
