The background is dark with several round lights visible, giving a studio-like appearance.

Warning: Big Names Targeted in AI Scam Endorsements

Deepfakes are getting scary good—and scammers know it. From fake celeb romances to bogus investment pitches featuring politicians, AI impersonations are fooling people fast.
