To be fair. That kind of scam is as old as time. I mean many beggars will chew your ears off to get you to give them money. Many work in groups or are forced to to do it. Of course they‘re doing it on Faceboook too because that‘s where people‘s attention is nowadays but AI isn‘t really escalating the problem much. It‘s just shifting from one place to another.
