A fan of the popular soap opera “ General Hospital ” has lost her home after a scammer used AI-generated videos of actor Steve Burton to fool the woman.
The 66-year-old Burton fan, Abigail Ruvalcaba, was tricked via Facebook into believing that she was in a relationship with the “General Hospital” star and now she has lost her life savings and her family home.
Ruvalcaba told news outlet KTLA 5 , “I thought I was in love. I thought we were going to have a good life together.”
“To me, it looks real, even now,” she added. “I don’t know anything about AI.”
In one video, Burton says, “Hello, Abigail. I love you so much, darling. I had to make this video to make you happy, my love.”
