Beware of AI voice scams, warns dad who lost $1k.

A family lost $1,000 to an AI voice scammer who impersonated their grandson and pleaded for help. The scammer used artificial intelligence to clone the grandson's voice and convince the grandfather to send money. The Federal Trade Commission warns that impersonator scams were the highest reported scams in 2022, resulting in $2.6 billion in losses. Experts advise remaining calm, contacting authorities, and creating a code word for family members in case of trouble.
