Fake “True Crime Case Files” YouTube channel makes up to $82,000 in 10 months
The “True Crime Case Files” YouTube channel creates a fake story of a 2014 murder in Littleton that never happened, and gets nearly 2 million views, fooling thousands of viewers — gets exposed by the Denver Post
I remember subscribing to the YouTube channel titled “True Crime Case Files” recently, watching maybe a portion of one video, and then unsubscribing.
Why? Well, it wasn’t the AI voiceovers they use. I use AI voiceovers often myself, that mimic my own voice, when I want to take a break from getting in front of the camera and narrating the true crime cases I research.
At least the true crime cases I research are actually “true crime.” I realized when looking at the impossibly perfect photos featured on the “True Crime Case Files” videos that none of them represent real victims or perpetrators. I couldn’t find the cases in the news to perform additional research on the stories.
