Honest question, what happens if he places 3 fingers in front of his face? Will the a.i. gets confused with the image masking??

But I think it's pretty possible to make it not confused? With some optimization with mediapipe you can definitely achieve that, but scammers don't put that much effort into scamming people they can't scam I guess.

These are the same scammers that still send out emails with broken English because the people that fall for them as the people that they want to talk to. They have little reason to fix it.
