AI-era scams use generated voices, video and text to make old tricks far more convincing. A cloned voice of a family member, a deepfake video call, an AI 'trading bot' or a perfectly copied company website can all defeat instinct. The defences are the same fundamentals — verify independently, never act under pressure, and agree family safe words.
Cloned voices of family members or executives used to authorise urgent payments or 'rescues'.
'AI trading bots' promising automated, guaranteed profits — a wrapper for investment fraud.
Deepfake videos and images of celebrities 'endorsing' investments or giveaways.
AI chatbots posing as brand support to extract logins, payments or remote access.
Pixel-perfect copies of real company sites used for phishing, fake sales, or fake support.
Fabricated 'news articles' promoting scams, often using deepfakes and trusted-outlet branding.
Live deepfake video used to impersonate executives or loved ones and authorise transfers.
AI chatbots that simulate a romantic partner at scale to groom victims toward payments.
Entire platforms branded around 'AI trading' that are fake from end to end.
Bogus 'AI advisor' services that give harmful advice or harvest sensitive financial data.
