Pretty sure this is an AI scam

Post by DFGrueban »

Just saw a sweet water ad from Steve Vai saying they were giving away free Les Paul standards. They are just slightly shipping damaged. It was a video that looked too good to be true. I got a screen shot but no idea hire to post it here.

It's 100% a scam. Report it to the platform you saw it at.
They run several variations of this scam but they're all the basic same premise (giving away slightly damaged guitars) and they're all scams.

Oh yeah. The video looked super believable. But the screen shot even says sweet waters. The website didn’t look like sweet water at all. I was wondering if it was just scamming for 10 bucks or an attempt at identity theft.

It's both.
