Every invention must have two uses, the good use and bad use. Don't expect AI to be only use for good reason. In fact, how am seeing, AI will help scammers more than otcwill help for good cause.

Without a doubt, AI has advantages and disadvantages. People can utilize it to deceive or scam others. This is why, if you have children, you should guide them or limit their mobile phone usage. Senior citizens are also at risk, as most are susceptible to different types of scams online. Exercise care at all times, as we live in a digital age when scammers and criminals are more widespread.

It is indeed very scary. Good that many people didn't fall for this scam. My own sister in law received one call from the same group. And we know of one person in our circle, who fell victim for this and transferred a huge amount to them to save his son.
People have made this post viral on social media to warn others and alert every one.
We are going to see more and more of such things in coming future. Even criminals would try to make every possible use of AI.

The thing is that with everything meaningful that is invented, these scammers would always find a way to perverse it and give it the wrong application. We should all just be careful though.

Totally agree. Every technology and advancements comes with it's own set of disadvantages. It can be used, misused and abused. We have seen an increase in cyber crimes with the world going more and more digital. But then it makes life easier and convenient and we have to adapt to it. We need to be aware and take all precautions to avoid being scammed.
