The moment they used a fake advertisement with a popular personality, they became untrustworthy right from the start. That’s automatically sketchy. People who resort to tactics like this shouldn’t be trusted at all. Those who easily fall for this trick are usually people who aren’t tech-savvy, don’t use social media much, or aren’t aware of what AI can do these days. But if one knows how to spot what’s real and what’s fake, then why take the risk, especially when there are plenty of other well known and trusted options out there?
Getting to buy people with this advertisement is what this impersonators are good at. They know what their victims want and they use that to lure them into using their services and hit them rugged during the process. AI is really becoming more and more powerful in this technological era, so you have to know how this AI works and be able to detect any picture or video that is AI modelled. Plenty of options to use are available for all, but not having the mindset to take on the process the right way, and access real time service free of sketchy behaviour is what many lacks and they end up falling to using this fake services. Hopefully a lasting solution to this is found soon.
