Anthony Delon, the son of the famous actor, denounced this Saturday on fake accounts which promise you wonders in exchange for a few hundred euros. Scams that have flourished in recent years on social networks.
It's an experience that many French people would have dreamed of living: visiting the Delon family home in Douchy (Loiret). It's a certain Anthony Delon, who offers it on the social network Facebook. Yet none of this is true. Anthony Delon, the real one, denied on his Instagram account having offered this kind of experience. “This gentleman offered 500 euros to come and meet me in Douchy,” he said, before denouncing the resurgence of this type of scam on social networks: “It’s very serious, there are victims” .
The son of the actor from La Piscine or Christine has announced to file a complaint and invites the victims to make themselves known to the authorities. These celebrity scams have exploded with the arrival of artificial intelligence. THE deepfakeas they are called, imitate the voice and sometimes even the appearance of personalities.

The journalist Elise Lucet or the footballer Kylian Mbappé are regularly visible on social networks, offering you to invest through dubious financial arrangements or in cryptocurrency. A phenomenon that platforms are struggling to contain. In a survey last March, the IFOP estimated that “only 33% of French people believe they are capable of distinguishing photo or video content generated by Artificial Intelligence from real content.” So beware of those who promise you the Crown Jewels in exchange for a few euros.
