Fraudulent Scams Using AI Technology: Be Aware and Protect Yourself
The Rise of AI-Generated Fraud
The public has been urged to be wary of fraud tactics using sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that is being abused for criminal purposes to manipulate the public into becoming victims of cybercrime investment fraud. The National Anti-Financial Crime Centre (NFCC) deputy director-general, Ahmad Sazilee Abdul Khairi, has warned that scammers are taking advantage of the latest technological advancements to reap huge profits.
The Modus Operandi of the Crime
The modus operandi of the crime involved is carried out online with the latest technological advances, and now, cybercriminals have started using AI technology to manipulate victims. They can make video calls by imitating the voice and face of individuals known to the victim until they convince them to make money transfers. Therefore, the public needs to be aware of current developments to avoid being scammed.
The Consequences of Cyber Fraud
Cyber fraud crimes should not be taken lightly, as they risk exposing victims to suicide. Victims who experience cash losses due to being deceived will face emotional stress that will affect their quality of life. The individuals involved may then act to isolate themselves before deciding to commit suicide due to shame.
Prevention is Key
The public should not be complacent with cybercrime tactics that are always following current trends. Cyber fraud can happen to anyone regardless of gender, background, or age. To prevent this, Ahmad Sazilee advised victims to immediately contact the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) to allow the money they were deceived to be frozen. The NSRC is working to improve the system to prevent this cybercrime from occurring.

In conclusion, it is essential for the public to be aware of the latest tactics used by scammers and to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from falling victim to these schemes.
