What if the person calling you sounds exactly like your child, your boss, or your trusted colleague—but it’s not them?

Welcome to the alarming rise of AI-driven deepfake scams, where cybercriminals use cloned voices and manipulated videos to trick people into transferring money, sharing sensitive data, or clicking malicious links.

🎭 The Scam Tactic: What’s Happening?

Attackers now use AI voice cloning tools to create perfect imitations of real people. Recently, several cases were reported where:

Parents received urgent calls from their "child," asking for emergency money.
Employees got fake voice notes from “managers,” requesting confidential files.
Deepfake videos were used to impersonate CEOs in remote meetings.

These scams are highly convincing because they exploit emotional urgency and trust in familiar voices or faces.

⚠️ The Risks Are Real

Financial Loss – Money transfers to fraudsters posing as trusted contacts.
Data Breaches – Sensitive information shared with impersonators.
Reputational Damage – Misuse of your identity for malicious purposes.

With deepfake technology becoming cheaper and easier to access, these scams are no longer just high-profile attacks—they’re spreading fast to everyday people and businesses.
