The Cyber Crime Wing of the Tamil Nadu Police has issued an advisory on a new impersonation scam that uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) voice cloning, and has asked the public to be cautious about unsolicited calls received on their mobile phones.
Police said that cyber fraudsters are now employing voice cloning, using advanced AI technology, to mimic the voices of trusted individuals, such as family members, over phone calls.
The calls come under the pretext of an emergency, and by creating a sense of urgency or distress, deceive victims into transferring money quickly, exploiting their trust.
