AARP Presents Fraud Talk: The Latest High-Tech Scams

Technologies from QR codes to voice cloning are being exploited by devious scammers to victimize unsuspecting consumers. Scammers have figured out how to use the technology all around us – from QR codes and artificial intelligence to voice cloning – to steal from trusting consumers. Now that we are seeing more and more leaflets, signs, advertisements and menus using QR codes, find out what you should keep in mind before you scan one.

 

We’ll also look at the top three areas for AI scams:  

 

  • Cloned voices of loved ones  
  • “Deepfake" photos or videos
  • Real-looking personalized emails

 

Learn how to recognize these high-tech scams and how to protect yourself.
