AI Voice Fraud Is on the Rise
With just a few seconds of audio taken from social media, bad guys can create AI voice clones of the victim’s relatives, friends, and even celebrities. They use this technology to make automated calls, impersonate acquaintances to scam and steal property.
A common tactic is to impersonate a family member in trouble, needing urgent money, or impersonating a bank employee or a government agency to request personal or account information. Experts advise users to be extremely vigilant against unusual calls, requests to transfer money, or provide sensitive information.
To protect themselves, users should:
- Set up a private 'password' with a loved one: Agree on a secret phrase with a loved one or friend, to use to confirm identity when needed.
- Ask a test question: Ask the caller to confirm information that only the two of you know.
- Listen carefully to the voice: Look for abnormalities, such as intonation and unnatural emotions.
- Verify Call: Hang up and call the person back using their mobile phone number.
- Be wary of unusual requests, especially requests for urgent money transfers.
- Learn the bank's communication process and understand how the bank contacts customers.
This incident once again raises the alarm about the potential risks of AI technology when exploited for malicious purposes. Users need to raise awareness and equip themselves with knowledge to protect themselves from these new and sophisticated forms of fraud.
