Taylor Swift Fans Scammed By Fake Le Creuset Endorsement

[stewie_e]

No, Taylor Swift did not promote a giveaway of the popular cookware Le Creuset. It's one of the many celebrity-focused scams that have been made far more convincing by artificial intelligence. https://t.co/jfaZqjnkiD pic.twitter.com/aTznOtBWoJ

I got one on YouTube of Jennifer Aniston giving away free iPads to the first ten people who clicked the link in the ad. I was half asleep so I was initially like, in what world? But as I was watching, the mannerisms, oh and the batshit stuff they were having her say, made it easy to report it as a scam.

Internet literacy needs to be a full course nowadays, there’s no reason people should be easily scammed by deep fakes.

ugh, the future of deep fakes is upon us.

damn i hope they get their money back, chargebacks and shit.

while yes, youd expect people not to fall for dumb shit like this, its also still on these platforms not having good enough content moderation for their ad buys of all things.

Yeah media literacy is extremely important but also it’s wild trying to keep my old parents from getting scammed and telling them “don’t trust texts, don’t trust emails, don’t trust ads that have been accepted and run on major legit websites, don’t trust calls cause they can be spoofed, don’t give anyone money but also everything is paid for online”
