‘Relentless' scammers are trying to rip off people by asking to use their pictures for fake ‘art project' — here's how
It's the art of the steal. The internet is flooded with inventive schemes, from AI-fueled romance scams to cybercriminals who pose as kidnapped loved ones to receive 'ransom' payments. Now, a woman is warning of a sneaky 'new scam' in which bad actors masquerade as artists so they can hijack people's personal information. 'Heads up guys, be careful,' warned TikTok user Jen — who goes by @jend961 — of the digital Trojan Horse. Advertisement She explained that she'd received a message from 'some girl' who asked if she could use one of the TikTok user's pictures for an 'art project' she was working on. 3 'She says, 'All I need from you is your full name and your email so my client can send over an e-check,'' Jen recalled. TikTok/jend961 Suspicious, Jen went to the sender's page to make sure the sender wasn't a scam artist. The profile surprisingly had 'tons of paintings and drawings,' which initially put her mind at ease. Advertisement 'I thought 'ok, maybe it is legit,'' recalled the recipient. 'So I wrote her back and I asked her what picture she was interested in. And she said my profile picture, and I said, 'Ok, that should be fine.'' Jen reportedly became further intrigued after the sender promised her a copy of the finished project, as well as a commission, per the clip. 3 Commenters also claimed they'd been targeted by the same scam. ARAMYAN – However, Jen realized something was awry when the woman requested some personal details. 'She says 'all I need from you is your full name and your email so my client can send over an e-check,'' she recalled. Advertisement Despite not asking for her bank info, Jen said she knew it was 'phishy,' and accused the woman of trying to pull the wool over her eyes. Her suspicions appeared to be confirmed when she checked the fraudster's profile again and saw that it had vanished. This wasn't an isolated incident, either. 'Today I got two more messages from different people asking the same thing,' Jen said. Advertisement The PSA created a stir among the TikTok commenters, who also claimed they'd been targeted by these wolves in artists' clothing. 'Same thing happened to me,' declared one viewer, while another wrote, 'I went through the exact same thing. These ppl are relentless.' 3 The sender claimed they needed Jen's profile pic for an art project they were working on. Siphosethu Fanti/ – 'Same thing happened to me, and they sent me a copy of a check for my photo,' said a third. 'I took the check to the bank and had them check the check, and it was fraudulent. I immediately reported it.' The Federal Trade Commission warns that fake check scams are exceedingly common. The way it works is that fraudsters will message the mark promising them a work-from-home job, commission on a project like in the aforementioned scheme, or the cash prize from a sweepstakes they just 'won.' But when they send the dupe a check, they'll include 'more than the amount owed to you and instruct you to wire the excess funds back to them before receiving your lump sum payment,' per the FTC. Advertisement It's only after the person sends the money that they discover that the check is bogus. Plus, now the scammer has the recipient's info and can use it for future fraud. The FTC advised people to report these ploys to the Federal Trade Commission or the Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker. Advertisement This is one of many inventive online scams being used to hoodwink unsuspecting people. In May, Long Island police warned that scammers are swindling elderly people out of millions of dollars by using AI to find their grandchildren's voices on TikTok and then utilizing the sound bytes to make phony phone calls designed to trick the seniors into sending them money.

Man Tries To Relax on Lake Float—but He Has Two Golden Retrievers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With golden retrievers, relaxation can be an elusive thing. That didn't stop one man online from trying, though. His afternoon enjoying a peaceful float on a lake was hilariously interrupted by his two devoted goldens, whose unwavering loyalty—and perhaps a touch of "fear of missing out"—prompted an impromptu "rescue" mission. The adorable scene, captured in a viral TikTok video, has gone viral with over 2.7 million views. "'Spotted: Dad alone. On float. Without us. He looks like he needs us. Does he even have snacks? We must go rescue,'" the creator captioned the video, imagining the dogs' inner dialogue. "'Emotional support en route. Target acquired … Backup has arrived … no man left behind. No raft left afloat.'" One by one, the dogs plunged into the water, swimming toward their owner. The first golden retriever reached the inflatable and clambered aboard with a splash, followed shortly by its equally determined sibling. The result? A deflating inflatable and a man now submerged under the weight of two very loving, but heavy, golden retrievers. The creator's page says the goldens, named Whaler and Flapjack, adore swimming. "If there's water, we're in it," the profile reads. Internet viewers quickly fell in love with the dogs' earnest, if misguided, heroism in the video. TikTok users flooded the comments with laughter and relatable stories. "'Dad looks like he's resting peacefully! Must change that!'" one commenter added. "Lovely," another wrote. "How could anyone beat the love these guys have for their human?" Stock image: A tan-colored dog swims in a lake. Stock image: A tan-colored dog swims in a lake. Nataba/Getty Images Many viewers found humor in the dogs' single-minded focus on their owner—even at the expense of his relaxation: "Dad probably been out there since morning coffee trying to get some … peaceful sunlight," one person posted. The canines' approach to the "rescue" was also a source of amusement. "The funniest part was the first mud trail. Golden one has a visual on the target and has engaged. Golden two sweeping in for clean-up," a commenter said. Some viewers offered practical advice, suggesting ways to ensure the dogs' safety during their water adventures. "You should get them life jackets," one wrote. "I had one and it made my parents feel so much better and I got to swim for longer!" These golden retrievers, known for their friendly and loyal nature, seem to fully embody the spirit of "no man left behind"—even if it means sacrificing their human's peaceful float. Newsweek reached out to @ for comment via TikTok.
