Criminals are using new technology to plagiarize the voice of your family members – pretending they’re in serious trouble – all to steal your money.
Criminals are able to use artificial intelligence to clone voices pulled from online videos to make scam calls.
Robert was listening in and guessed she’d most likely be at the South Hill Walmart and jumped into action to save his daughter. He got in the car and raced towards her. Meanwhile, Heidi is still at home on the phone with the scammer, who was giving specific instructions. “Finally she texted back and said I’m at school and sent me a picture. So I hung up on him,” Heidi said.
“This is a new scam that’s out. This is going to be affecting other people if they’re not familiar with this artificial intelligence. People can take a loved one’s voice and create it into something that it’s not,” said Deputy Carly Cappetto. “They will try to keep you on the phone. They don’t want you to hang up the phone because they don’t want you to make contact with that person to verify,” she said.
