I got one of these a few months ago. I could tell it was fake before I even answered, but I was curious so I pointed my own camera at a blank wall and answered. It was creepy to see my friend’s face (albeit one that was obviously fake if you knew what to look for) when I answered.

How do these scamers know who our friends are? Also how are they able to get pictures or video from said friend to create the fake?
In my case, the friend’s facebook account was compromised. So they were able to get his pictures and call me from his account.
