AI scams

Scammers have AI now. Here's their whole playbook.

Cloned voices, deepfake video calls, machine-written phishing, and chatbots running a thousand victims at once. Learn how they work and how to verify requests safely.

🎭
“Get them on video — that proves it's real.”
Real-time face swapping puts a stolen face on a live webcam feed. One deepfake meeting stole $25 million.
