Scammers typically use technology to do the heavy lifting and avoid meeting in person. They use social media to create a fake persona or hack into other people’s profiles and con their friends and family members. They can even clip the victim’s voice through a telephone call and use AI software to replicate the victim’s voice and proceed to call loved ones of the victim usually asking for money.
