Better Business Bureau Warns Artificial Intelligence Phishing Scams are Evolving Quickly

Share

Artificial intelligence is being used by scammers to try and get you to believe their grifts at an ever-increasing rate. The technology such as ChatGPT has the Better Business Bureau advising you to double down on your scrutiny and skepticism of unsolicited messages wanting your money or personal information. While the technology is evolving, Better Business Bureau Investigator Don O’Brien says there are still familiar methods of protecting yourself.

“The old tired and true, if it is to good to be true, it probably is, still applies here. Our scam track risk report found that nearly three quarters of people who avoided losing money in a scam had that gut feeling that something wasn’t right about that situation. We still want people to trust their gut.”

In addition, he says you should not believe everything you see online; don’t click links or attachments; scrutinize wording; and report suspected scams to the BBB and local police.
