There was a DND episode about fake online schools run from overseas springing up to soak up US college grant money that was being given out. The schools were built well enough to fool some one not that interested into thinking they were a real (but probably kind of crappy) school and had actual online classrooms with minimal assignments. Every time the government got wise to one they'd just shut it down and spin up a new school with new materials to stay ahead.
IIRC this before AI so I expect this kind of thing to accelerate since it should be a lot easier to spin up a whole fake narrative for some one to investigate. And since so many real companies are now using AI generated websites with AI generated images or even conducting early interviews with AI recruiter avatars recognizing AI generated sites won't even be an actual tell.
The age of per person bespoke scams for increasingly small potential payoffs is upon us.
