A Springfield, Ohio man was scammed out of $70 in Apple gift cards by a conman pretending to be Jelly Roll online. The scammer used AI to create a deepfake video of Jelly Roll telling Ronnie Flint that he had won $50,000 and a car.
Ronnie believed the scammer because in the AI video, Jelly Roll used Ronnie’s name to congratulate him. Ronnie sent the $70 in Apple gift cards to cover “shipping costs” until a family member stepped in and stopped the scamming from continuing.
