Scammers now have a new way to steal people’s money: obituaries. You’ve probably gotten links in Messenger with a message saying “I can’t believe they are gone.” Those are fake. More and more fake death announcements and obits are popping up and they are AI generated. In many cases, the people thought to be dead are actually very much alive. Here’s a big tip for not falling for the scams: if the website you see it on is not “mainstream,” it’s probably fake. There are legit obituary websites like Legacy.com that post real obits. Go there first.
