Would you be willing to share one of these videos? Our research group is studying the use and abuse of DeepFakes in the wild and we'd love to be able to do some analysis on this incident. Feel free to shoot me an email at brendandg@nyu.edu

It's likely not a deepfake. My friend fell for the exact same scam--they managed to get her to make the video herself.

I will ask for her permission to share it with you.

Thanks!

That's very kind but it seems like consent is a ship that has already sailed in this case.

Why’s that?

Presumably because these are widely disseminated videos posted by criminals.
