Louisiana Tech Expert Warns Against Responding to Scam Texts
from Mornings with Brian Haldane · host Guaranty Broadcasting Company
Haggai Davis joined Brian Haldane to discuss the latest tech headlines, including why people should never respond to scam texts or spam calls. Davis explained that replying confirms your phone number is active, which can lead to even more unwanted messages and calls. He also addressed concerns about AI voice cloning, noting that while scammers can recreate someone's voice with a short audio sample, they still need additional personal information to commit financial fraud. The conversation also covered a bizarre airline incident where a teenager's Fitbit named "bomb" forced a United Airlines flight to return to Newark, as well as Instagram's latest efforts to limit teens' exposure to potentially harmful content and body image-related posts.
