⚠️ Could you spot a deepfake scam?

Deepfakes are highly convincing fake videos, photos, or audio of real or fake people, created using artificial intelligence (AI).

Criminals also use AI to write scam messages in perfect English, by the thousand. These fakes are very convincing.

A few simple habits can help you stay protected. Learn how these scams work and what you can do to spot them: 🔗https://www.friendsagainstscams.org.uk/site-media/459681254/pdf

Using fake online pharmacies puts you at risk of serious harm.

More people than ever are buying medicines online, but fake online pharmacies can dispense medicines that are inappropriate, ineffectively dosed, or even counterfeit. These counterfeit medicines could include seriously dangerous substances such as cement and even arsenic.

This is why it's vitally important to make sure that any pharmacy you use is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

✅ How to check an online pharmacy:

1. Find the pharmacy's GPhC registration number on its website.
2. Search for the pharmacy on the official GPhC register.
3. If the pharmacy is not listed, do not use it.

Taking one moment to check a pharmacy's registration could save your life.
