It's an old scam with a new twist - taking someone's voice and changing it into an artificially intelligent generated robocall.

These scams use only a few seconds of a person's recorded voice to send fake messages, then call on the recipient's urgency to manipulate them. According to Don O'Brien, a scam investigator with the Better Business Bureau, these AI-generated calls often target seniors.

O'Brien suggests one way to prevent these AI-generated scams is to establish a safe word with a loved one. When on the phone, use a safe word, like a password, before continuing with the conversation. If the AI-generated voice fails to provide the safe word, then you know it's a scam.
