Scammers are using artificial intelligence to scam unsuspecting victims.
With the holidays approaching authorities say fraud is on the increase. Scammers are using AI to create more sophisticated and efficient scams, leading to a significant rise in fraud. They use AI to generate personalized phishing emails, create convincing deepfake videos and voice clones, and deploy automated chatbots to impersonate legitimate businesses. To protect yourself, be wary of urgent requests for money, even from family members, scrutinize unusual or emotional content, and always verify unexpected situations by independently contacting the person directly using known contact information. If you suspect you’ve been targeted contact your local authorities.
