First AI case in Real-estate Fraud

This YouTube video from WSVN-TV reports on a case of AI-generated real estate fraud in South Florida. A young man almost became a victim after he agreed to sell a vacant lot to a woman who claimed to be the owner. The woman's identity was verified through fraudulent identification, and the deal was almost finalized through a Zoom call. However, the title company realized that the woman on the call was an AI-generated image, preventing the sale and exposing a growing trend of real estate fraud using artificial intelligence. This case serves as a warning to property owners to be vigilant against sophisticated scams, especially when dealing with online transactions and verifying identities remotely.
