AI Scams on the Rise

This is a short and off-topic post but it's important.

If you haven't noticed, AI is getting more and more sophisticated. People are using it to talk/act like loved ones pretending to be in harm's way, kidnapped, etc and extorting money out of people. It's happened to people I know.

If you get a call or text like this, don't believe it. Spoofing numbers is easy, so are voices and mannerisms. Soon, live video. Ask personal questions that only that person would know. Don't send them money.

Stay safe out there!
