AI FaceTime Call Scams
A chilling story that recently went viral on TikTok about a mother who received a FaceTime call from her daughter, who claimed she came home early, was locked out of the house, and needed the door opened is a telling story how we need to prepare for scammers. The mother noticed several red flags. The “daughter” mentioned being upstairs in her office and answered personal questions about her school and teachers incorrectly. The terrifying truth?
