How Scammers Use AI to Trick You 🤖

Hey there,

Have you ever received a call or message that gave you chills because it felt too real?

A friend of mine recently got a frantic phone call from what sounded like her sister. The voice was trembling, begging for money to deal with an "emergency." She almost sent the money—until she decided to call her sister back directly. You guessed it: her sister had no idea what she was talking about.

This wasn’t a prank; it was a scam powered by AI.

Scammers are using advanced technology to mimic voices, create fake videos, and craft hyper-realistic emails. Here’s how they do it—and how you can protect yourself.

1. Voice Cloning

With just a short sample of someone’s voice, scammers can create fake calls that sound like your loved ones. These calls are designed to make you act fast without thinking.

What to do: Always verify by calling the person back directly. Don’t rely on what you hear in a single call.

2. Deepfake Videos

Scammers are creating videos that look exactly like celebrities or people in authority, endorsing scams or asking for money. They’re shockingly convincing.

What to do: Be skeptical of “too good to be true” offers or requests. Cross-check with official sources.

3. AI-Powered Emails

AI allows scammers to send emails that feel personal, addressing you by name or referencing details from your life. These phishing attempts can be hard to spot.

What to do: Inspect email addresses closely, and never click on suspicious links.

Why This Matters

AI scams are more convincing than ever, but the good news is, they’re not unstoppable. With a bit of caution and awareness, you can protect yourself and those you care about.
