Did you receive a call or message that sounded exactly like someone you know? It may not be real.

Scammers are now using artificial intelligence to mimic voices or create convincing deepfake videos. These tactics can make fraudulent calls, messages, or virtual meetings feel incredibly real.

Their goal is to pressure victims into sharing passwords, sending money, or granting access to financial accounts.

Stay alert for:

  • Voices that sound familiar but request unusual actions.

  • Urgent requests to send money or share login information.

  • Pressure to act before verifying the request.

Always pause and verify requests through a trusted contact method before sharing personal or financial information.
