Watch Out for AI Video Scams
Scammers are now using AI-made video and audio to pretend to be real people, making fake requests for money, information, or urgent help much more believable. This makes it easier for them to trick people into trusting something that is not real. Who Is at Risk Anyone who communicates by phone, video, email, or social media, especially people who handle money or sensitive requests. What to Watch For Be cautious of sudden urgent requests from someone you know, especially if the person asks for money, gift cards, passwords, or private information in a way that seems unusual. What to Do Pause before acting and verify the request through a different way, such as calling the person back using a known number or confirming in person.
