PIB Busts Fake News
The fact-checking unit of Press Information Bureau said that the video is false and misleading as it was digitally altered.
“A video on Facebook falsely shows Union Finance Minister @nsitharaman promoting an ‘investment program’ that promises easy daily income. The Finance Minister or the Government of India has NOT launched or endorsed any such scheme,” the PIB Fact Check said in an official post on X.
“Don’t fall for such get-rich-quick traps! Stay alert. Stay informed. Verify before you share,” PIB added.
PIB further mentioned a couple of pointers for users to Stay Smart and Spot the Scam:
– Look for distorted lips or unnatural voice sync in videos.
– Check if the date, background, or logo seems mismatched.
– Verify links – official government domains always end with .gov.in.
– Search for the claim on trusted sources before sharing.
