I was on a Zoom with what looked exactly like our CEO. He asked me to wire funds to a new vendor for an urgent acquisition. The video was AI. The wire was real. The money is gone.
How this scam type works
From our AI & Deepfake Scams guide.
- Voice or video harvest. Scammers pull audio from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram stories, or LinkedIn videos.
- Training the clone. Commercial AI tools need only 10-60 seconds of source audio to produce a convincing clone.
- The call or video. A distressed family member calls. A CEO appears on a 'Zoom' asking for an urgent wire transfer.
- Urgency and isolation. 'Don't hang up. Don't tell anyone. I need this now.'
- The transfer. Money moves before verification is possible.
