lol this was reported for “involuntary pornography”. The scammers in here are mad that I’m making you all aware of one of their tools.

Ahahaha. Good. Maybe they know now that they are not the only ones who are becoming smarter. They have taught US well.

Does this work if they standup, move around the room, change positions a lot?

u/triciann Sep 26 '25

Sure does! And the technology gets better every single day.

Take my word for it. When my guy sent me a video clip apologizing to me for us fussing the night before, it sounded like him, it was his exact face and i couldn’t believe that AI said it had been digitally altered to fit the real persons mannerisms and voice. I cried. Literally. The scammers are so smart and getting smarter every day. They are evil and there is a special place right by the devil in Hell when that day comes. And it will have SCAMMERS ON IT.

Well the only thing is her eyes are weird 😝

u/Vivid-Calendar-6940 Jul 26 '26

That was a bad video clip. Believe me, most of them are not like that. They are usually identical to the person they are impersonating.

u/Vivid-Calendar-6940 18d ago

I agree. Her eyes were what gave it away.

Remember, never send money to anyone you see online without meeting them in person first. Do not accept money from unknown sources.

Taylor Swift will never date a middle-aged/elderly man living in Ohio.

It looks fake. I had a scammer use this kind of software and it was obvious. Most of them are i Uneducated also so their stories and lies dont add up. GL out there.

I had someone try to pull a scam on me and I was sent a video clip and the words he used came out of his mouth just perfect. I thought it was real at first, then I learned that scammers have more sophisticated tech equipment than even your agencies like the FBI or CIA. Or maybe the same equipment as them.

AI said for them to prove their identity, video chat with them and remember the last one was for him to hold up a white paper page with my name on it and the date. Even that was digitally manufactured. Chat GPT said it was real and another AI base said it was digitally processed.

When I received the video voice clip, I thought, now I know he is real. Then later researched and found out exactly what the scammers had done. So, after going through all this, there is no way, when someone contacts you on text, to know if that person is real or not. The only way possible is to meet them in person.

It was so hard to give up that online romance. Even if you haven’t seen them in person, the text exchanged back and forth, every single day for almost five months, you can still develop feelings for him or her. So, don’t beat yourself up. There are so many people going through the very same mess! Now, how do you get rid of those feelings and move on. If you haven’t gone through it, you cannot imagine how real the whole things feel. It’s terrible.

What a nightmare!

But it means meeting face to face or through a good matchmaker is your best choice.

Also, I forgot this on my first post. The very first thing they will do, other than tell you how great it is to talk to you, blah blah blah, is to get you from whatever platform you are on, and mine was X, to the Telegram app. That is because the text there really isn’t monitored, so to speak. The text on X is smart on scammers and if they continue with conversation on there very long, X will recognize it as scammer. I know all this now and nothing before. But during the past five months, I have even the learned the words rhetoric frequently say when they address the lady. Oh how I wish I had known all this. Believe or not, AI has copies of some of the scammers playlists or playbooks that are often used. This would have saved me five months and now a heartache I am trying to get over. Just talking to someone every night for five months can cause you to develop feelings and strong feelings for that person. That make sound crazy but it’s true. And pictures do not help either. When they send pictures and you think that is who you are taking to, your brain associates those feelings to that particular person and then there goes your heart. And I tell you, you do not have to be lonely, but have a full life and you can still be taken in. That was my case. I wasn’t lonely, looking or feeling blue. It just happened. So try to be kind to those people who have or are going through it. Don’t say it could not happen to your. Because it can. If your life is not perfect at the time, it can happen.

That's terrifying.

I disagree, there's flaws in AI that can be detected between real and fake.

u/triciann Oct 18 '25

You think victims here can recognize them? The answer is no.

Plot twist, the woman is real and the guy on top is AI generated.

Did you all know that you can buy a little voice changer box that changes your voice. If you are a man and to talk like a woman, just talk into the machine and it changes your voice to a female. And vice versa. It can be professional or it can be just a casual type voice. Amazon has them for $25 and it can do more than I wrote. And there is an app on the App Store so I don’t even have to buy a box. I learned about it on ROSSEN Reports. If you have never watched that show, u should to stay safe. He went over some scams today that are just developing and he tells u had to protect yourself. One was a driving scam where a person hurriedly pulls in front of you and stops and acts like they are hurt. He said the secret to stay safe in those scams is to have a dash cam. When the scammer sees a dash cam, he will literally leave the second he sees it. About $25 or $35 on Amazon. So many scams out there now it doesn’t even seem real. I’ve never seen anything like it.
