A 43-year-old man from the United Kingdom was defrauded over five months by scammers using artificial intelligence to impersonate actress Jennifer Aniston. The perpetrators employed deepfake technology to create fake photos and voice messages, convincing the victim that he was in a secret romantic relationship with the celebrity. The scam involved pleas for money, including requests for Bitcoin, as part of a broader, billion-dollar celebrity impersonation fraud targeting starstruck fans. This type of AI-driven scam is becoming increasingly prevalent and sophisticated, with fraud experts warning about similar schemes facilitated by new technologies such as smishing (SMS phishing). Authorities and industry stakeholders are grappling with the challenges posed by AI-generated deepfakes, which also contribute to the spread of misinformation and complicate efforts to protect vulnerable individuals from financial exploitation.
