With the rise in the usage of AI, it's definitely not a surprise to see it being used as a tool to scam people and make life easier for scammers. It's important to know that if you have something to be gotten for free, it should be within reason or else it's a scam. It is harder to prove now but it's still at the user's discretion.
If it's too good to be true, it is. That can be a guideline for everyone. It's important to let others know that rule.
I think so, the problem with these scams is that they are based on the law of large numbers: they only need a small percentage of unwary people to take the bait for it to be profitable. And there are always those who are clueless, greedy, etc., and fall for the scam. Logically, scammers are now using AI leverage, taking advantage of the technological tools at their disposal to achieve greater success, so you need to be more aware than ever.
Scammers now taking advantage of technology but if those greedy people will be cautious on what they are joining for sure they will never get scam by this since imagine that the word posted is a giveaway and they should never put any amount for that. If those people ask some fees for higher chances to get some huge money in return to them then this should be a shady practice which they need to avoid. But unfortunately many fall in this schemes because they failed to determine so early that what they are trying to participate is just a pure scam and they are late to realize that they became a victim of it once they already lost their money.
People just need to be aware that scammers always do anything just to deceive them so they should never fall on anything like asking money for a big profit returns since most likely this is just another scam in the making.
