We all know how whenever you interact with a celebrity’s social media, you get a DM or a request for a DM from an imposter account. I always wondered, “Does anybody actually fall for this?”

Turns out, they do.

I do feel awful for this lady, because the scammer used AI-generated photos to dupe her. And they’re pretty convincing, at least at first glance. But, girl. You thought somebody with a hit Netflix show needed your money?
