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.

In this video, Liz shares her firsthand experience with one of the fastest-growing deepfake scams targeting older adults and families.
