🔎 The Claim:
A viral Facebook ad features Narayana Murthy & Sudha Murthy promoting an AI-powered investment scheme, Quantum AI. The ad claims that investing just ₹21,000 can earn users up to ₹15 lakh per month! 💰💸 It even falsely suggests government approval, with a fake Times of India report backing it.
⚠️ The Reality:
This is a complete scam! 🚫 The videos have been manipulated using AI deepfakes and stolen footage from real interviews. The fake website URL (supportatheism.com) is a dead giveaway!

🚀 How the Scam Works:
✅ A fake video shows Sudha Murthy claiming the platform guarantees income. She appears to criticize the government for "hiding" this opportunity. 🤔
✅ Clicking the ad leads to a fake Times of India article with AI-generated endorsements from Azim Premji, Ratan Tata, and Sachin Tendulkar. 🚨
✅ A deepfake video of Narayana Murthy falsely promotes the scheme, claiming he personally tested it and earned ₹60,000 overnight. 🎭
✅ The fake article includes a fraudulent sign-up link to trap unsuspecting victims. 💻

🔬 The Investigation by Alt News:
📌 Reverse image search showed that Sudha Murthy’s video was actually taken from a 2020 Blue Sky interview, with fake AI-generated audio! 🎙️
📌 The Narayana Murthy clip was stolen from an India Today Conclave, and nowhere in the original footage did he mention Quantum AI. 🕵️♂️
📌 The so-called Times of India article had a completely different URL, proving it was fake! 🌐
📌 The scam keeps changing—at times, it features fake deepfake videos of Elon Musk and Chetna Vasudevan. 🤯
