2-There's a new VO scam in town. Please watch so you don't fall victim! 

Hi Gabby. My money's on AI harvesting. I nearly got caught out last year when I was contacted via LinkedIn by someone who claimed to be representing a Corporate Training Academy, Got as far as the 2nd interview (only 2 days after the initial contact!), where they asked me to record a sample of a training course, then give them access to my file share so they could review it! That's when I smelled a rat, so I ran. Looking back now, I think they wanted voice samples to generate AI voices for who knows what other purposes!

The “company sponsored equipment” would have basically been their endgame here. They send you a cheque for you to go buy the equipment and they send too much so you send back the remainder… the scam doesn’t need you to do any recording for them but you do find yourself back at the fake cheque scam you mentioned. I am curious about the human you spoke to, though. If they didn’t speak with a strong foreign accent then you might have some local scammers which are more likely to be of interest to local authorities. There are some great RU-vidrs who specialise in this sort of thing if you ever want an epic crossover some time.

3:10 "Company Sponsored 'Equipment's'-" is a dead givaway; The word "Equipments" is not plural and even if it was, the apostrophe also screams out "SCAMMMMMM!!"...

I never thought about it being for an AI company, but yeah that makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us about it!

When I saw the script I was thinking it was enough to train AI to your speech!! You are AWESOME!

Thanks, Gab. Can't tell if this is a standard day job scam template poorly adapted to target VOs, or if the spec is intentionally odd to weed out pros who know better

Noooooooooooo omg thank you for letting us know!

Thank you for putting out this video. Thankfully I wasn't contacted by the scammers.. but have had other ones in the past. I HATE AI!! :)

Thanks for the heads up! 100% agree with the Ai company theory.

Frightening concept... When you showed the script. AI popped in my head instantly..

That's really good to know. I never thought there were scams used for something like voice cloning. I hope a lot more people see this video

Love you for this! I had a company ask me to record The Great Gatsby for, well, a massive amount of I’m honest. Told the I was English and they said there fine. Anyway, quick google and it turns out they are an AI company. Well, that stopped then.

Outstanding info that you made enjoyable to watch! Wonderful heads up to be super vigilant.

Thanks !!!

It's kind of scary that you can't take a job now without vetting the people/company trying to hire you.

Thanks Gabby!!

Thanks for the info Gabby!

Love watching this videos so i can talk to my friends about it to teach them

Thank you Gabby! It goes back to the old saying " If it sounds to good to be true, there's BS behind it!"

I love how she mocks the "apparently I passed test number one in their search for talent" lol. Like, bish, I AM the test for talent. I'm Gabby Fking Nistico lol

I’m going to record a take on that “script” They sent you just for fun 😂
