Stay Safe in the Age of AI
AI is being used to power a new wave of scams targeting adults over 50. Understanding the threats is the first step to protecting yourself and your family.
Voice cloning scams are rising rapidly
Scammers are using AI to clone the voices of family members and impersonate them in phone calls. If someone calls claiming to be a family member in trouble and asking for money, hang up and call them back on a number you know.
Warning signs to know
Urgency and pressure
Scammers rush you. Any message demanding immediate action - especially involving money - is a red flag.
Requests for gift cards
No legitimate company, government agency, or family member will ask you to pay with gift cards. Ever.
Caller ID you recognize
AI and scammers can fake phone numbers. A call that looks like it is from your bank or family may not be.
Unusual requests from "family"
If a family member calls asking for money urgently, hang up and call them back on their real number.
