AI scams – level 3

AI scams

24-10-2025 15:00

AI is now part of daily life, from chatbots and photo filters to online customer services. But as AI becomes more advanced, it also helps scammers trick people in new ways.

One major threat is deepfake technology, which can clone a person’s voice or face to make fake videos, images, or phone calls that seem completely real. Criminals can use it to ask for money, pretend to be friends, or create fake rental listings. These scams are becoming harder to detect because AI-generated content looks more natural. To stay safe, experts recommend checking the source of information, questioning emotional or shocking messages, and comparing stories on trusted news sites. Watching for unnatural speech or lighting can also help spot AI fakes.

Sharing information about scams and staying informed are key to protecting yourself in a world where seeing is not always believing.

Difficult words: advanced (very developed or modern), deepfake (realistic fake video or image made by AI), clone (to make an exact copy).
