Voice Clone AI Scams: A New Level of Fraudulent Activity FOX 10 News Phoenix - Scammers are increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) voice-cloning technology to gain access to unwitting victims. This type of scam is a new and very lucrative level of fraudulent activity that has been on the rise in recent years. Voice-cloning AI allows scammers to clone peoples' voices by taking a few seconds of audio recordings of them speaking and then using AI to create a realistic replication. With this technology, scammers are able to impersonate business executives, family members, friends, and other individuals in order to gain access to financial information and other personal data. The voice-clone AI scam technique is relatively simple to use. Scammers attempt to contact victims by phone or email, posing as a trusted individual or business. In many cases, they are even able to provide information such as the victim's name, address, or personal details that suggests they know the victim. Once the victim has been contacted, the scammer then uses the voice-clone AI to replicate the victim's voice and make it seem as if they are the one speaking. The scammer then uses this voice clone to ask for money or personal information. It is important to be aware of this new level of fraud and take extra caution when engaging in any conversation or transaction that involves personal or financial information. If you suspect that you may be a victim of this scam, report it to the authorities as soon as possible. By understanding the threat of these voice-clone AI scams, you can better protect yourself and stay one step ahead of the scammers. |
