Beware of AI voice cloning scams

TL;DR Summary
Scammers used AI to clone a teenage girl's voice and demand a $1 million ransom from her mother in a terrifying new voice scheme. The rise in "caller-ID spoofing" schemes has led to an increase in kidnapper schemes. Computer science experts say that voice-cloning tech has evolved to the point that someone's tone and manner of speaking can be re-created from the briefest of soundbites. The identity of the cybernetic catfish is unknown at this time, but FBI experts warn that fraudsters often find their targets on social media.
