AI technology allows scammers to clone your voice with just three seconds of audio…which could be taken from your social media accounts. Scammers then use the generated voice to phone a close friend or relative to ask for money on your behalf.

How common is this scheme?   1 in 4 say they’ve been or know a victim of this scam.

Some tips? Set a codeword that only close friends and family know that you all use to ask for help. Another tip is to question the source: Pause when the call or text is from a number you do not recognize.
