💨 Abstract

As Black Friday approaches on November 28, 2025, South Africans are warned about a surge in AI and cyber scams. Fraudsters use AI and deepfakes to mimic trusted brands and individuals, creating convincing but fraudulent offers. They exploit social media, emails, and SMS to steal personal and banking information. To stay safe, avoid suspicious links, verify deals, and report any scams to the police.
