Dick Smith is no stranger to fighting for Australia but his latest battle is proving more difficult than he thought he's become the target of a scam and it's one you might have fallen for Di what can you add if you have not registered in this project then do it now what you've just seen is a scam I don't think I've ever seen you this angry dick now I'm incredibly angry because when I first saw it I thought it was really me I thought they'd done an interview somewhere that I'd forgotten about but then I realized
no it wasn't from the billionaire to the now broke they destroy you emotionally physically they take Your Dreams Away these scammers have even taken advantage of our show no other project has ever given such opportunities before and would you believe the government that would guarantee profits for all investors dick what would you like to say to the people watching us right now it's to me amazing that a company can be so powerful that I've actually faked the words of the Australian Treasurer but there's been no comment from the treasurer at all I think he just
knows that Instagram and Facebook are so powerful you can't do anything about it now that's [Music] ridiculous hello I'm Ali Langdon seeing is believing and when artificial intelligence can take this tonight is about New Beginnings it and then do this Australian citizens no longer need to go to work as problemed Allie's voice and her face Clon so criminals can get her to say whatever they like it's truly impressive artificial intelligence is just uh moving at such a pace that the authorities can't keep up it's extremely dangerous because it gives the veneer of respect respectability to
products that probably in some cases don't even exist and some of Australia's most influential people are caught up in it it was sent to me by a friend who believed it don't be afraid to invest and start enjoying the fruits of your labor it's not hard to find a fake Dick Smith online spooking an investment scan I've been in electronics all my life and if someone said you'll be able to put a person up on television mouthing words they've never said but using their accent I'd say that's impossible dick has a long history of standing
up for Rosies I've got plenty out of Australia and whenever I get a chance to put a bit back in I do now he's picked a fresh fight I'm saying to fellow Australians never ever buy anything that's advertised on these uh Facebook or Instagram because you'll probably lose your money but even someone with as much pull as Dick Smith is finding this battle they'll run these ads which they know are false they know are run by criminal syndicates but they can make more money proven she can handle well I was scrolling through my granddaughter's schooled
Facebook page and this ad came up with Ali langon queenslanders like Paula and Ron are left to pay the price there's a scam going around with Gina Reinhardt promoting online trading and you watch her lips those words are coming from her lips Quantum AI Ron had previously been stung by scammers using the same tactics they put us on a a roller coaster ride highs and lows and highs and lows they promise to turn a small investment into big bucks with online trading and make it look so successful you invest even more from the $350 investment
to be talked into actually losing all my super annuation $220,000 the only comfort for this Duo they're not alone I'm sorry it's just hard it's it's horrible it's the worst feeling and the embarrassment of it you don't talk to your friends about it because you're embarrassed but the scam evolves and continues a concerned Gina Reinhardt has written to Mark Zuckerberg directly mining magnate Twiggy Forest is even suing meta the owner of Facebook and Instagram Mark face up you are facilitating criminals you are profiting from criminals you would have thought that our government was ready for
these sorts of uh scams but it seems that maybe our government wasn't media lawyer Justin quill from Thompson gear says despite the scams also ruining reputations it's near impossible to get Justice who do you sue over these sorts of scams where do you sue them and frankly how do you sue them it's totally out of control I mean this is something we've also raised with the A C even their head of free toar television in Australia Bridget Fair has called on the government to do more while scammers are stealing money Facebook is taking around $7,000
per vert when it comes to advertising are these social media Giants governed the same way that television stations are they are subject to some of those same laws they should be complying with the Australian consumer law for example but they aren't it goes to competition as well you know we're trying to compete in the advertising market and we're doing that with heavy regulations and ensuring that we're providing a trusted and brand safe environment and we're competing against people that basically are acting like these laws don't even exist dick says it's time to rally the troops
because this is a fight we must have imagine if suddenly we saw on television our Australian prime minister saying in a perfect accent we're declaring war well most people would believe it but it could be completely fake done by some Russian gang the government could bring in legislation to make sure that Facebook and Instagram didn't run these scam ads but they don't do anything for some reason we have to be vigilant and go no we do not believe you you are liars and we're going to stand up and fight you gosh it's scary isn't it
Facebook told us it has specially trained reviewers to identify and action content and accounts that violate their policies well we've been seeing those fake ads for so long maybe it's time for Facebook to update its policies
