| Fraudsters have a new trick up their sleeve and it's one that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and voice cloning to scam people. Criminals are now taking advantage of AI technologies to create highly realistic versions of people's voices in order to steal their money and personal information. Fraudsters Using AI Voice Cloning Technology To Scam People The latest threat to unsuspecting consumers comes in the form of fraudsters using Artificial Intelligence (AI) voice cloning technology to scam people out of their money and personal information. Voice cloning technology has become increasingly sophisticated in recent years and is now being used by criminals to target unsuspecting victims. How The Scam Works The fraudsters use AI to create a highly realistic clone of the victim's voice. They then use this cloned voice to create a recording that sounds as though it were coming from the real person. They use this recording to call or text the victim and convince them to hand over their money or personal information. The recordings are so convincing that it can be difficult for the victim to tell if it's genuine or not. The Consequences If the victim falls for the scam, they can lose their hard-earned money or have their personal information exposed to criminals. This can lead to further financial loss and even identity theft. Protecting Yourself In order to protect yourself against fraudsters using voice cloning technology, be sure to never give out your personal information or money to anyone on the phone or in text messages. If you receive a call or text that you think may be a scam, hang up and contact the authorities immediately. Also be sure to keep your data secure by using strong passwords and two-factor authentication whenever possible. |
