AG Mayes issued a consumer alert to warn Arizonans about the prevalence of fraudulent investment schemes proliferating across Meta platforms, including on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Scammers are increasingly using deceptive advertisements and "deepfake" technology to lure investors into high-stakes scams to defraud them of their savings.
"These scammers deliberately target our most vulnerable communities, using trusted faces and false promises to rob Arizonans of their money. Meta must do more to protect users on its platforms. If you believe you have been a victim of consumer fraud, report it to my office immediately." – AG Mayes
