Scams getting more convincing with AI Imposter scams are already bilking people out of money, but now, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), they will get much more convincing. These scams are frequently directed at parents and grandparents. Fraudsters will call people and claim that a loved one, such as a child or grandchild, has been in a serious car accident, suffered some type of medical emergency, or been arrested. The criminals will say you need to hand over money immediately, if you want to help them. Sometimes scammers themselves claim to be the child or grandchild who needs money for bail or another crisis.
