Khoai Lang Thang was 'plagiarized' by AI to scam sophisticatedly, dozens of people fell into the trap

Recently, the famous travel YouTuber Khoai Lang Thang had to speak out for help from the online community when his face and voice were taken advantage of by bad actors for profit, causing dozens of people to be deceived.

On the evening of December 4, Khoai Lang Thang posted a worried article on her personal page to warn fans. Accordingly, his image and voice were faked by bad actors using AI technology, creating a sophisticated phishing video.

Counterfeiting with AI, calling for fraudulent business

Khoai Lang Thang said that during the past week, he has received dozens of messages and emails from people who have watched this fake video. They came to ask him about a "show how to get rich" content posted in his name.

"Below this article is a scam video using AI to fake Khoai's voice and image. For a whole week, dozens of people have been deceived by this page, texting and emailing to ask Khoai about this fake video," Khoai Lang Thang shared.

The specific content of this fake video is to call on viewers to "open a business store on Amazon" with attractive promises such as: "No risk - no experience - still get started." The scammer used AI to dub and edit the mouth, making viewers see the face of Khoai Lang Thang directly talking about this life-changing money-making opportunity. For those who have only glanced at it or are not familiar with AI recognition technology, this is an extremely easy trap to fall.

Helpless to report, call for community support

It is worth mentioning that despite detecting and trying to report this fraudulent video on social networking platforms, Khoai Lang Thang still did not receive the desired results.

He said angrily: "I hope Aunt Khoai will report to. Khoai reports all kinds of items from fraud, AI, counterfeiting, copyright infringement,... all the time, the platform kept replying that it was not deleted. Seeing that others were deceived, Khoai was so helpless."

By midnight on December 4, although many netizens expressed their outrage, shared warning articles and simultaneously reported fake videos, this scam video has not been removed, continuing to pose a risk to social media users.

Continuously forged for profit

This is not the first time Khoai Lang Thang has encountered the problem of being taken advantage of by her image. At the end of October, the male YouTuber also had to voice a warning when his image was attached to unrelated products for sale. In fact, Potato Lang Thang does not trade in these items.

He once shared: "Ask my aunt and uncle to support Khoai to report fake sales pages to. Khoai reported in the past few weeks that the platform has not handled anything. Many people are scammed from these sites to message Khoai a lot."

The case of Khoai Lang Thang once again sounded the alarm about the danger of fake content, also known as deepfake, that is spreading on social networks. The fact that "celebrities" are taking advantage of their reputations to create false credibility for scams has become painful.

To protect themselves, social media users need to keep absolute alertness, actively equip themselves with knowledge to identify signs of AI-generated content. At the same time, the community is also actively spreading typical cases and calling on social media platforms to further tighten the censorship of deepfake content to prevent illegal scams and profiteering.
