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.
“My good friend Mr. George, I just want you to listen to what I’m telling you. I promise that you’re going to receive your package.”
How do you not say that in Apu’s voice?
Why did you redeem?!?!???
