the most is a video and audio production by d w. i hope the video will tune in the wait, am i reading this? right? i can follow social media accounts and make over $260.00 in a day. well, it's a scam of course, but scans like this, a huge global business, and many scam us, even victims themselves. what topic on ship? this is aaron. he was taken to me um uh, under false pretences and forced to scam people online or via the phone. we'll show you ever the story in a moment, but what exactly is scamming? essentially things coming in a general form is, is really a way of deception right on this coming. anything in particular phones coming or on lines coming is

a modern way of social engineering attacks where basically are exploiting individuals emotions or potentially weaknesses and trying to lose them and making some profit. ok, scam us, pray on our trust and often offer money. one of the 1st into those games were poorly with an email from the so called nigeria connection. for example, i receive money in my account which i then transfer in exchange for a reward. of course that isn't any and effectively longer to the money. but in today's world, it scans out on the rise using a software like chat, c, p t scam us can now translate, scam emails into any language with increasing accuracy, mistake free and tailored to each target group. one popular scam is the so called shock, called a scam, a pausing as a police officer, the mon space for a family member, allegedly involved in the crime of accident. but the scam took the most sinister

turn recently. thanks to a i a such an option diesel um, i mean, cuz of the game in warehouse some cases in the west when mothers received calls from the doses alleged kidnappers throughout the year, a mother would hear her daughter's voice in the background saying, mom, my mom the hosting me and those quotes, the voice was a i generation caught you in the someone will have her quoted the daughter's voice somewhere else and used a all you to sound like how smooth color e. d 's a it, these are also, i'm just a snippet of a re, a conversation or voice mail is enough for the a i the takes too. that's a i generated videos of becoming an increasingly attractive posts cameras. microsoft are released a i model boss. one for example, can generate animations from a single photo from say, an instagram account. do some pushups,

run up and down the stairs. any language can be lips inc. professionals with forensic tools may still be able to identify the face, but i meant to us on the other hand, might have difficulty spotting them, especially at 1st glance. the most important thing for scam us is not the technology, but gaining the trust of the victims via they are. yeah, as a mazda image for tom is very trusting, when someone gives us just a few pieces of information you mind, like the name of someone we know masonry, spoke that information is easily accessible on social media. things like that, who i am friends with, who i am in contact with. anyone could go and use the names, were often not so aware of that. and then we'll just manage cameras, work from west africa, south east asia or eastern europe and often target the richard global volume. really, people that targeted 1st like children and seniors,

but also people who are lowly tricked by so called roman scam. us taking advantage of financially scamming has long been part of organized crime world wide in south east asia. the entire office complexes where hundreds of scams were side by side. but in many cases, the people in the so called scam factories, actually victims themselves, having been brought there under false pretences and forced to defraud of us are you and report shows the scale of this more than the form of slavery. a credible sources indicate that at least a 120000 people across me and my may be held in situations where they are forced to carry out online scans with estimates in cambodia. similarly, as a 100000 other states in the region including allow pedia, the philippines and thailand have all side being identified as mine,
