Ramapo PD Warns of AI Scams
The Ramapo Police Department is warning folks about a scam that’s making the rounds using sophisticated AI technology. Police say the scammers use an AI-generated version of a friend or family member’s voice, and request help and money after being involved in an accident or other emergency situation. They’ll request bail money or credit card information, they’ll even use fake voices to pretend to be a bail bondsman or prosecutor to get you to send money or give out personal details about yourself. Police say don’t give them any information over the phone, and try to reach friend or loved one on your own. You should also report these scams to your local police department or other law enforcement agencies.
