AI Scam Watch

AI can help, but it also gives scammers new ways to sound convincing. Use these checks before you trust a tool, voice, video, or offer.

Red flags to check first

Fast money promises

Be careful when a tool or expert promises easy money, guaranteed income, or no-work success.

Private data requests

Do not enter passwords, bank details, medical records, codes, or private family information without knowing where it goes.

Fake urgency

Countdown timers, pressure language, and fake scarcity are common ways to make people act too fast.

Voice and video scams

A familiar voice asking for money, gift cards, passwords, or codes should be treated as suspicious until verified another way.

The 30-second safety check

  1. Search the company name plus the words scam, review, and cancel.
  2. Check whether the price, renewal, and refund policy are easy to find.
  3. Never send a login code or payment because a voice or message sounds familiar.
  4. Use a credit card instead of a debit card for unfamiliar services.
