Yesterday I came across a heartbreaking story from LA. A woman became a victim of scammers who used AI to impersonate an actor Steve Burton. The scammers sent her messages and deepfake videos in which Steve confessed he loves her and asked for help. Believing, the woman sold her condo and sent all her savings ($350 000) to the scammers.

Since my team and I are developing an AI detector of fakes, we decided to test our product on this story. Unfortunately our video module is still under development. Screenshots of Burton were blurry and not suitable for analysis. So we ran the audio through our voice detector.
