2025-12-02

An 82-year-old Florida woman reportedly lost approximately $200,000 after viewing a purportedly AI-generated deepfake video that impersonated a trusted doctor from the autism community and promoted an investment opportunity. According to reporting, the woman believed the investment would secure her autistic grandson's future. The impersonation allegedly enabled scammers to gain access to her banking information, resulting in substantial financial loss and significant emotional distress.
