The Daily Star documented 52 such videos between 19 and 26 February, mostly offering Family Cards or cash rewards for engagement. Many users shared personal contact numbers in the comments, and the newspaper reported that the personal information could later be used for fraud. Fact-checker Dismislab reported on 24 February that the motive was rapidly growing followers to sell the pages. The pages were not identified as responding to press contact, as none of at least seven contacted replied.

No AI agent is described, so agent_involved is set false and no failure class is given. The incident is classed harmful_output as a judgement, since the sources describe deepfake content and fraud without a closer category. The year 2026 for the dates is taken from the article publication date, since the text gives only month and day. Date_disclosed uses the Dismislab report date, not the Daily Star publication date. Trigger, root cause, responsible party, adversarial actor, detection date, duration, containment, loss amount and record counts are not stated and are left out. No controls are named in the sources, so links and remediations are empty. Severity is moderate because data of others was harvested within a bounded scope of 52 videos over 19 to 26 February. The risks are ranked by judgement, placing manipulation first as the central harm.
