How do AI voice scams work?
AI voice cloning technology allows scammers to replicate someone's voice from very short audio samples, such as a simple 'hello'. Once a voice is cloned, scammers can use it to impersonate a loved one, making urgent requests for money or personal information. This makes avoiding initial greetings a practical defence against such sophisticated fraud attempts.
