Scam-demic

Deepfake videos and AI-generated voice scams are spreading so quickly that experts are calling it a scam-demic.

A recent WISH-TV investigation showed how a convincing fake video of News 8 reporter Tim Spears was created in just minutes using publicly available clips. Reporters warn that scammers are using the same technology to impersonate trusted people and push fraudulent schemes.

What to watch for:

  • Odd lip syncing or unnatural facial movements

  • Urgent requests for money or sensitive information

  • Videos or calls that feel “off” but seem to come from someone you know

Experts recommend verifying suspicious messages through another channel, saving screenshots, and reporting deepfakes immediately.
