Technology has made impersonation scams more convincing—and more frightening than ever. Criminals can now use AI to clone a loved one’s voice, spoof their phone number and create a false sense of emergency to pressure you into sending them money.
🚩 If you ever receive a call like this, hang up and reach out to your loved one directly. When in doubt, contact the police.
Scammers have evolved their tactics, and their schemes have become more convincing and a lot harder to recognize. That’s why awareness matters.
