I know it’s true and I’ve willingly purchased such things, but I can’t believe that $2500 was the acceptable price point for that level of performance.
Given the prevalence of social media platforms where you post videos of yourself, it seems pretty easy to get enough voice sampling to generate a convincing clone. Depending on how much personal info she and her family members put out on social media, it’s trivial to connect all the dots to concoct a plausible scenario to scam someone.
Now whether or not it was “just a prank, bro” from family or whomever, I don’t know.
