“I got scammed by a crypto scheme that used AI to look legitimate.”
AI-generated websites, fake testimonials, deepfaked endorsement videos, bot-driven social proof — the tools of deception have never been more convincing. You're not stupid for falling for it. You encountered a professional-grade operation designed to exploit trust. The shame you feel is misplaced. Direct it at the criminals who built it and the platforms that hosted it.
Your Practice
Document everything — every transaction, every URL, every communication. Report it to the FTC, your bank, and law enforcement. Then share your story publicly, without shame. Every person you warn is one person they can't scam. Your loss becomes someone else's protection. That's not defeat — that's Verity.
