Woman loses Rs 1.4L to AI voice scam: What is it & how to stay safe

A 59-year old woman fell victim to an AI-generated voice fraud, losing 1.4 lakh. Scammers are using AI to create audio that sounds like someone the victim knows, tricking them into giving personal information or sending money. The most common scams involve impersonating a family member, friend, or customer service representative. To avoid falling victim, never give out personal information over the phone unless you are sure of the caller's identity, be wary of urgent requests for money or personal information, and report suspicious activity to the authorities.
