That at least isn’t replicable at mass scale. You’d need to have a training set for each relative you’re pretending to be.

But in general, yes, it’s going to be a mess.

Luckily for the scammers we keep posting videos to Facebook, Instagram and any other social media app you can think of. It's going to be a nightmare.

You only need a few seconds. If you can access whatsapp shared filed of the victim this may be enough.
