Michael Smith says there is a ‘deepfake’ video ad of him on Facebook asking people for their credit card info in exchange for a free Le Creuset set worth $500

A Prince Edward Island chef and TV host is warning people about a fake video advertisement that features him offering hundreds of dollars worth of cookware for free – in return for credit card details.

The chef says it’s unacceptable that Facebook appears to be getting paid to run an advertisement potentially scamming Canadians.
