6. Deep Fake Scams
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool, but what happens when it falls into the
hands of scammers?

also be leveraged by nefarious actors through deep fake scams that can mimic human
voices, create fake videos, photos and more to take advantage of unsuspecting victim
7. Deep Fake Scams
How it Works
Phone scams are nothing new, but with the help of AI, they’ve become more realistic and a more powerful
weapon for scammers. Scammers will use AI to:
● Take videos, photos and other information from your social media profiles and other websites and use AI to
create realistic deep fakes for their fraudulent schemes. They even leverage things like posts from your
current vacation to identify their targets.
● Once they’ve created a deep fake of a real voice of your loved one, they’ll call you to say they’re in trouble
and need money. Scammers have even taken things as far as faking kidnappings and using deep fake
voices to make their ransom calls seem legitimate. As AI continues to evolve and become more realistic,
scammers are also using it to create videos that may look and sound just like your loved ones to leverage in
their scheme.
● Scammers play up the sense of urgency and seriousness of the situation to get you to act quickly and without
thinking.
Scammers will ask for payment in cash, gift cards or cryptocurrency to try to make their schemes untraceable

automated calls from FedEx and fake customs and Mumbai police officials. The callers
weave a tale of a stuck consignment being thoroughly checked at the Mumbai airport

troubles, they coerce their victims into paying a hefty ‘fine’ ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 10
lakh
