"It has come to my attention that my image has been used in fake AI (artificial intelligence) marketing videos," the 54-year-old wrote in English on Instagram on Aug 22, sharing part of the fake video.
"I am flattered that they thought using my image would give their scam more credibility. But at the same time, I am pretty pissed at how lazy they were."
