AI Scams Are Getting Smarter | Washington DC News

from Washington DC News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

AI-powered scams are getting smarter and more convincing, with fake websites, emails, texts, and even audio/video tricks fooling victims into handing over cash. Fraud losses hit a record $15.9 billion last year, fueled by investment, romance, crypto, and impostor scams. Stay vigilant—question everything, don’t click suspicious links, and use credit cards for online purchases (they’re federally protected). Avoid crypto, gift cards, and wire transfers—they’re irreversible and leave you stranded with no recourse.
