Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is very useful for cyber thugs. Recently, a person from China lost about Rs 5.15 crore by getting trapped in AI fraud. A fake video call was created from AI. By doing this the scammers trapped this person. With AI Deepfake technology, this person was prepared to transfer money. This incident shows how people are being trapped by deepfakes and AI, and fraud is also happening. Let us see how such fraud can be avoided.
The case of China shows how cleverly cybercriminals are using AI technology to commit fraud. The situation gets worse with deepfake technology. Deepfakes make everything seem real and people easily believe in fake things and take losses.
Video call to friend
The victim received a video call in the name of his friend. These calls were being made by cyber criminals. The cyber thug made a fake face of the victim's friend and talked on a video call through AI deepfake face swapping technology. He convinced the victim that he is his friend. The victim also transferred about Rs 5.15 crore considering it as a friend.
This is how fraud was detected
The victim realized the dupe when his friend denied any such video call or transaction details of Rs 5.15 crore. However, the police have recovered most of the money. Cyber criminals are using photo, video, and now video call means every method to cheat.
