| 'A Voice Cloning Scam Spoofed Kidnapping: Mom's Warning' When Whitney Miller's daughter, Kelsey, called to say that a man was on the other line claiming he had kidnapped her, Miller was filled with panic and dread. Miller knew that this was no ordinary scam, but rather a new type of fraud known as voice cloning. Voice cloning is a type of artificial intelligence that allows scammers to mimic a person's voice to make it sound like the real person is on the phone. In the case of Miller and her daughter, the scammer had used voice cloning technology to make it sound like Kelsey's voice. In order to ensure that no one else falls victim to this type of crime, Miller is now warning others about voice cloning scams. She urges people to pay attention to their surroundings and to verify the identity of any callers that seem suspicious. Additionally, she suggests that people keep an eye out for any unusual activity on their phones, as scammers can use this technology to make calls while masquerading as someone else. Overall, Miller hopes that her story will encourage people to be more vigilant when it comes to answering calls and to be aware of the danger that voice cloning technology can pose if it is used by unscrupulous actors. By recognizing the potential threat and taking the necessary precautions, victims of this type of scam can avoid falling victim to it. |
