Scammers utilizing AI technology to mimic your loved ones

Beware! Scammers have taken their tricks to a whole new level by utilizing AI technology to mimic the voices of your loved ones.

It's not just human scammers anymore; artificial intelligence is being employed to make their deceptions sound more convincing and authentic. Proxyrack fraud analyst, Ariana Bago, sheds light on the various advanced AI tools scammers employ, including email phishing and deep fake videos.

One alarming technique scammers use involves vocal recognition technology to imitate the voices of victims' family members and friends. In light of this rising vocal scam trend, Bago advises individuals to establish a code word with their loved ones as a precautionary measure. This code word can serve as an internal signal to help identify whether the caller is genuine or a scammer.

To further protect yourself, Bago recommends keeping your social media pages private. By doing so, you make it more challenging for scammers to access your personal information, reducing the likelihood of falling victim to their sophisticated AI-driven scams.

It's important to stay vigilant, verify any unusual requests, and report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities.
