Crooks using AI to make money-stealing scams easier to pull off

Pig butchering scams are getting more sophisticated – and more costly – by the day. One report found criminals have swindled an estimated $75 billion from victims. And just recently, a criminal organization in Asia was taken down, adding another $46 million to that tally.

I’ve talked to lots of pig butchering victims. One guy called my national radio show because a woman direct-messaged him on Facebook about a crypto investment. He gave her money and did not want to believe me when I told him he was being set up for “slaughter.”

No surprise, artificial intelligence is making these crimes a lot easier to pull off. I’ve got the scoop on the latest tricks so you don’t fall for them.
