Protect Yourself from Increasing AI Voice Phone Scams

Criminals are using AI-generated deepfakes and cloned voices to scam people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. With just a few seconds of audio, criminals can clone someone's voice and tone, making it almost impossible to detect a scam. Scammers are using fear and panic tactics to get people to share personal information or send money. Experts recommend having a family password, being careful with social media, and verifying the story before sending money. Parents and grandparents are particularly vulnerable to these scams, and experts warn that the problem is only going to get worse.
