My father received a scam call with MY OWN VOICE stating I was in jail, it wasn't my fault and he needs to call this specific number to help me out. Oddly the caller's voice sounded like my mouth was against a wall or something, and the number he called was suspicious so he hung up, he called a close family friend to check up on me and I told them I was okay and nothing was wrong, then I found out the scary truth... Scammers have no life and trying to ruin people's lives like mine to gain a profit on with no soul whatsoever! Be safe, it's scary out there.
It's unbelievable that the model can be trained with just a few seconds of audio. Humans have such a distinct tone, speech patterns and pitch that change with different words.
That's why it's still super obvious when it's an AI, even celebrity ones that have thousands of hours of audio to train from, if you are paying attention, are still easy to notice.
It they can’t though… you need at least a few minutes of speech with no background noise to get even a slightly good ai voice. Most well know models have hours and hours of footage that they use, so don’t stress
@@rohe1790 don’t stress? they’re doing it though. And in some cases they’re succeeding. So it is cause for concern. Taking the passive approach will only make it easier for them to do it and get away with it.
One time a scammer called my brother and told him the wifi would be cut off and he replied "I don't have wifi, I live in a cave, and I eat boogers". The scammer hung up 😂
This is scary. I've kept my 76yr old mom safe by telling her (sadly) that if the person on the other end has an accent, don't even respond. Now I fear they'll just use voice cloning to make things sound legit.
Hey I understand. I was scammed by someone with an accent. Big twist....it was an actual amazon representative. Yep there are amazon reps in the tech dept who are trying to help you with an issue and they tell you to download an app and then he took control of my phone and got over 3k out of my BOA account. It happened to a verizon rep when I called them to report what happened. It wasn't the wrong number. The call was in my call log and it was the correct amazon phone number
@@FishRfun it most likely was a scammer who used a phone number spoofer or cloned the Amazon representative’s phone number. It’s actually insane how sophisticated these scammers’ techniques are nowadays
This is going to make those "your grandson is in jail on a DUI" type calls even more scary. They already had a lot of info about the person they call. Now they might be able to clone the correct voice.
That's exactly what's happened. Phillip DeFranco reported on one of those cases just this week. The scammer made off with $5000 (they were going for $15000 initially). The grandparents didn't find out until they called their grandson later to check how he was doing. The grandson had been at work the whole time.
That's why before you give them any info or money you hang up and call the police department yourself to verify? People shouldn't jump to conclusions. But I do agree that for people less informed it will make those calls more believable
My grandmother is constantly receiving scam calls. She loves to argue back with them and talk talk talk. I try to urge her not to because they can easily use her speech against her. She doesn’t believe me and thinks she’s having her gotcha moment 🙃🙃
Always set to a verbal passcode with your family and teach your elderly family members to do the same. That way if someone doesn’t know the verbal passcode you know they are scammers.
A scammer sent my 91 yr old mom a text saying they were trouble, had killed someone & needed money to get away. I replied ‘where are you right now so I can direct police to pick you up’?!
You and your loved ones should have a code word. Not anything that could be found out by searching on social media profiles (ex. a pets name, highschool you went to, dad's name, ECT). Something completely random that won't be even accidentally guessed like "banana" or "kitchen table". Simple - No code word, no money. 👌🏻

This is why I absolutely REFUSE to do voice recognition for government services. These idiots do not understand that it is so easy to use someone elses voice.
Some of them do indeed add errors on purpose. Without them they could reel in more victims, but then they run the risk of those victims realizing it's a scam down the road and exposing it
Funny story...I like to mess with scammers sometimes, and Thursday was one of my best😂. So I called back the number from a 'norton' email and pretended to be an older woman, like Mrs Doubtfire. At the tail end of the call after I told him I knew it was a scam, he got all flustered and a colleague of his got on and said they thought I was a UA-camr and recording a video. He asked for my channel name and I gave him a random one and told him go watch it (no recording and I definitely don't have a channel) 😂
Best is hack into their systems, get a hold of their colleagues in the same scam field and then call them using the friend’s voice. Ultimate betrayal😅😅
Tell everyone you know that if they ever get a call from you saying you're in danger or something like in jail, then ask security questions like birthday, street he grew up on and stuff. And never give away any info.
Yep. I heard about this technology a few months ago and was immediately concerned about what people could do with that. Along with those green screens that people can use on UA-cam or Tik Tok to look like Tom Cruz, the president, or whoever. I am not sure why they had to invent this.
Yeah that's called deepfakes. We've basically reached an era where its easy to impersonate anyone to a realistic level. Just need to raise awareness of these evolving tactics and be even more vigilant.
This is what I use, when there's an assignment making a video I just make a video pretend I'm talking and add the ai voice. Very helpfull because I'm bad at remebering text 😂
Okay, there's also the AI video call feature they added recently. Helps them to video chat with someone else's face to their victim making these victims believe they're who they say they are.
All people have to do is remember what most of us were taught growing up : Don't talk to strangers !!!,and the scummers would be out of business in no time 😅
This just happened to my aunt a few days ago!! She picked up the call, and she could hear her son crying in the background. Like literally his voice, it sounded exactly like it. And he was saying "help me mama.. *sobbing", the guy on the other end was saying "please save your child hes dying.." This is honestly really scary.😓
What I love about their Norton scam is that it never has my name right and only 25% of the time has my email as my name lol. Then there's the conflicting amounts on the %off that has yet to show the same percentage in both spots.
There is so many ads of scams on youtube right now using ai generated voices of your favorite celebrities to trick people into falling for them. Its getting scary now and UA-cam being UA-cam of course allows these ads to go by.
Clone the scammer's voices, and then call them with their voice.
lol
Perfect comeback Lol
Reverse uno 😂
Talk like you're "handicapped" 😂
I don’t need AI to pull off their accent lol
This is the big reason I don’t answer any phone calls from numbers I don’t recognize.
Literally just saying hello is enough I've heard
@@StinkyGringo exactly, that’s why if someone isn’t in my contacts I’m not picking up. Even then they’re lucky if I answer the phone to be honest.
Oh wow the times where its a call and theres no answer.. is it them trying to copy a voice?
You mean, this is a new reason you dont answer the phone
@@zephyrias it's possible. Plus nothing on the other end gets you to keep asking "hello? Anyone there? Hello?"

It's unbelievable that the model can be trained with just a few seconds of audio. Humans have such a distinct tone, speech patterns and pitch that change with different words.
Yea any ai voice cloner should add like a watermark like this voice was made by the company name at the beginning and the end
@@Blox428 scammers can get smart and put random words on the beginning and end if they do this watermark thing till the watermark voice is over

Next time make a bunch of sexual sounds and breathe heavy 😂
Then ur mom picks up 😂

If I learned how to get on a scammers computer I would 1. Delete files 2. Leak there personal data like house address and stuff and other things
I abandoned pretty much all of my social media about a decade ago and I never answer my phone. People called me crazy but now I feel vindicated.
But cat vids 🙀🐱

Im thankful for everything you guys are doing🙏
how I would avoid this if I got an ai call from a "family member". ask them to yell me the most personal thing I ever said to them in private.
Also they can spoof their phone numbers so if they knew your dads phone number they could literally call you as your dad WITH his cloned voice
That could be alittle scary. My Dads been dead for years now......
Reasons why scammers need to be taken out…
Jokes on them. I never answer phone calls or check emails.
"The more we got, The less we have"
