AI Scams Target All Ages With Realistic Voices and Deepfakes
Beware of AI scams targeting all age groups. Fraudsters are using realistic AI, like Google Voice, to mimic relatives and friends, creating deepfakes from internet speech fragments. Don't fall for their tricks; stay vigilant and verify callers. AI scams are on the rise, with fraudsters employing convincing AI, similar to Google Voice, to impersonate loved ones. They create deepfakes using speech fragments from the internet, often sourced from large voice data collections gathered by tech companies without explicit consent. These calls typically involve a supposed relative in distress, asking for money. To protect yourself, stay calm and don't make hasty decisions. Ask specific or 'silly' questions to verify the caller's identity. If you suspect a scam, end the call immediately and contact the supposed acquaintance or relative to confirm their situation. Also, agree on a secret code word with close relatives to use during suspicious calls. Note down the date, time, circumstances, and phone number displayed during a suspected AI scam call. Never give out personal information or details during a suspicious call. AI scams are a growing threat, targeting people of all ages. By staying alert, asking questions, and verifying callers, you can protect yourself and your loved ones. Remember, if something feels off, trust your instincts and end the call.
