George Hendricks, a 69-year-old from Leesburg, a suburb of Orlando, told ClickOrlando he lost $45,000 after a scammer targeted him with a deepfake video of Musk. Deepfakes are digitally-altered videos often used to impersonate notable public figures.
Now, Hendricks tells the outlet that his wife “wants to get a divorce” over the scam.
Because it’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s free!
It’s not that quick, the nearest river is about a 25 minute walk from me, I wouldn’t call that convenient. Also it’s raining , so I can’t go now or I’ll get wet.
