An Ohio man is warning others after he was tricked by an AI-generated video impersonating country singer Jelly Roll.<\/p>\n
Ronnie Flint says he sent $70 in gift cards for a fake $50,000 prize.<\/p>\n
He said he was just going about his day when he got a message on Facebook telling him he had won $50,000 on a brand new car.<\/p>\n
Then the account sent Flint a video of what appears to be Jelly Roll, asking him to cover shipping to get his prizes.<\/p>\n
He was not convinced, but\u00a0then Flint received a second video, which he says surprised him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they sent the second video where he actually said my full name, that got me. I was like, wow, it really is Jelly Roll. He said my name.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Shocked by the realistic footage, he reported the scam to the police and is warning others to be cautious of similar AI schemes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Ohio man is warning others after he was tricked by an AI-generated video impersonating country singer Jelly Roll.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":29253,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[8409,8410,6818,6872,9313],"class_list":["post-33201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-jelly-roll","tag-ohio","tag-scam"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-15 15:25:19","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/08\/man-fooled-by-ai-impersonating-jelly-roll\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
