Phone scams targeting relatives are getting worse, as scammers can now use AI to capture a loved one's voice and ask for money. MORE ⬇️
If you think you have a good grasp of what a phishing email looks like or what a scam call sounds like, don't be so sure.
Technology is making mimicking what a person sounds like much easier. As a result, the so-called"grandparent scam" is getting more sophisticated with help from AI, artificial intelligence.You may be familiar with the scam, where scammers try to impersonate a close relative by making it sound like there's a crisis to get money. Now, with help from AI, fooling parents and grandparents is easier than ever.
"Once upon a time, the King's youngest son ....." I read, which is a short excerpt from a children's story."Hi Grandma, it's John calling. I need your help," the computerized voice said, sounding like a slightly synthesized version of my voice. It's not perfect, but to your 90-year-old grandmother, it could convince her that you were in trouble and needed her to wire you some money.
"They can download a speech that you gave from a Linkedin profile that you did something in public," he said. Or they could take your voice off an Instagram or TikTok video, as they only need a few seconds. Then they can have your voice calling your grandparents or parents, saying you are in desperate trouble and need money.AI is also making it harder to spot phishing emails. Nicoletti says AI tools clean up the grammar and spelling errors that typically help you spot a scam.So the next time you get a call or message from a loved one, Hatter says, be careful.
