AI Voice Cloning Scams Rising, Says Consumer Council Head
Fiji Consumer Council Chief Executive Seema Shandil has raised alarms about a new scam involving artificial intelligence, reports FBC News. Scammers are now using AI to clone voices, making it easier to deceive victims by mimicking people they know.
Global Threat Emerging: What’s Going On?
Shandil highlighted that this technique is gaining traction globally, with scammers capturing and cloning voices within seconds during phone calls. The cloned voices can then be used to create convincing snippets of dialogue, leading victims to believe they are speaking with trusted individuals.
Stay Vigilant: How to Protect Yourself
To combat this growing threat, Shandil advises the public to stay informed about various scam methods. She urges Fijians to thoroughly verify any requests for money, emphasising that knowledge and caution are the best defences against these AI-driven scams.
