AI Phishing Scam: Mom Targeted by Deepfake of Son's Voice

Liz Benz received a phone call that sounded identical to her son’s voice. He was in trouble. He needed money — immediately. But it was not her son. It was an AI voice clone, built by fraudsters using deepfake audio technology to impersonate her own child with chilling accuracy. In this video, Liz shares her firsthand experience with one of the fastest-growing deepfake scams targeting older adults and families.
