    SCAMMED - Everett

    He thought he was finally seeing her face. A video call. A real person. The same face from all the photos. But something was off. The lips didn't quite move right. Looking back, he knows what it was. An AI filter. A fake face layered over a real call, designed to make him believe the person he'd been trusting was actually there. This is where scams are now. And most people wouldn't catch it. On this week's Joe Knows Better podcast, Peabody Award-winning journalist Joe Ducey and Michelle Marin speak with a scam victim who describes the moment he almost believed a face that wasn't real. #romancescams #onlinescams #imposterscams #loveonline #datingsites #crypto #bitcoin Hosted on Acast.
