ScamGuardian Podcast: Can AI Teach You Better Than Humans How Not to Fall for AI Scams?

Published on 2025-01-02 by Silver Keskkula

Since our motto is "AI based defense for AI based scams" then it would only be natural for us to use AI to help everyone understand how these scams work in the first place. And honestly we think the results are impressive! Have a listen and decide for yourself:

Update: Unfortunately the marketing team of one of the authors of the seeding PDF asked us to take down the video. I guess they are not as impressed as us with what AI could do. And yes, we did ask permission before but sometimes things don't work out how you'd expect them to.

Our friends over at Salv, WeFightFraud and Thistle Initiatives created a detailed playbook about how criminals conduct APP Fraud (Authorized Push Payment Fraud - official term for when people are fooled into sending money). You can get access to the original document here, but if reading PDFs isn't your cup of tea then just have a listen to the podcast above that we put together with Google’s NodebookLM.

The original content is not about AI scams though, it's about APP fraud in general but you'd be a fool to think those scams are not moving over to conversational chatbots with cloned voices as you read this.

Recent research already suggests it costs only $2.51 to execute a Bank of America wire transfer using an AI agent with already a 20% success rate, so the economic reason to move criminal call centers over to this technology is there and only growing.

We ourselves are a new upstart in the business of helping people guard both their families and businesses from AI-powered deepfake scams and APP fraud and are just getting started.

Our first product AI Scam Wake-up Call is a service that lets anyone clone their voice and call their family members or colleagues with a simulated fake scam call - a penetration test (as they are called in the infosec industry) run by AI. We believe this learning experience (even if uncomfortable for some) is the crucial first step in booting up our defenses. Go give it a try at the link below and remember:

Not everyone calling with your voice is you!
