A Texas woman didn't just think she was dating Morgan Wallen, she thought the singer had given her a job and sent her first-person videos!
The encounter led her to "Social Catfish" the online equivalent of the MTV series, "Catfish". Desiree says she direct messaged the real Morgan Wallen on Instagram, just to say she liked his music. Later, a user with a similar Instagram handle DM'd her and they struck up a relationship. Over the next few months, she felt they were becoming more intimate, but Desiree never actually met "Morgan" in person. Instead, the fake Morgan sent many text messages and videos that the Catfish team would later determine was created using AI. Where this particular scam takes a unique turn is when the fake Morgan tells Desiree he'd like to give her a job. She applies and goes through the hiring process with what she thinks is a real staffing agency. She then turns over personal information like her social security number, bank account number, credit card numbers. . . The 34 year-old's story below proves that elderly people and those without technological savvy aren't the only ones vulnerable to online scams. She lost nearly $18,000.
