There currently is a wildspread on Facebook of accounts posting AI-generated pictures of people celebrating birthdays, usually with a sob story attached or something else to pull your heart strings. Most likely just to engagement farm, but there is also a possibility that they might try contact innocent (and gullible) people to beg for donations, though I haven't been able to verify that. Just take a scroll through the Photos page of this Facebook account if you want to see some examples.

This is despicable and I hope the filth responsable for this will pay.

As someone who's spent some time investigating social engineering scams, I surprised by the variety of people that are usually behind things like this; its not always who you'd expect
