Woman loses Rs 1.4 lakh to AI voice scam: What is it and how not to become a victim

A 59-year old woman fell victim to an AI-generated voice fraud, losing 1.4 lakh. The scammer impersonated her nephew in Canada and fabricated a distressing story to urgently request financial aid. AI voice scams are on the rise, using artificial intelligence to generate audio that sounds like someone the victim knows and trusts. Scammers commonly pose as family members, friends, or customer service representatives to trick victims into divulging personal information or sending money. To avoid falling prey to these scams, individuals should be cautious about giving out personal information, hang up and call back directly if unsure, stay updated on the latest scam techniques, and report suspicious activity to authorities.
