I'd like to hear the whole story, like how hold was the scammed guy etc.

To me it smells like he was an accomplice, or a very old person who is full of his company shit.

These new realtime deepfake system is very good. DeepFaceLive was one of the example. It can generate deepfake in realtime from just a single photo, and even more convincing deepfake if you have thousands of target's photos/video frames to train the deepfake models. It's not surprising if someone could fall for it if they're not aware of the technology.
