An AI recreation of Chief Minister Alf Cannan is promising Facebook users they can make a fortune using a new government trading platform.
Scam adverts have been appearing on Facebook - featuring a convincing video of Mr Cannan created using artificial intelligence.
In it, he promises people can make 800 "Manx pounds" a week by giving him just £190.
And in the video, created to fool users into handing over personal or financial information, Mr Cannan promises something unusual:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
