AI Voice Cloning Scams: What You Need to Know
 
Cyber criminals impersonate trusted individuals or institutions over phone calls to steal money or sensitive information. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and audio clips available online, fraudsters replicate a trusted person’s voice with alarming accuracy.
 
How fraudsters pull off AI voice cloning scam:
 
 They claim emergencies such as arrest, kidnapping, accident, blocked account or pending payments
 
 Calls are often urgent , emotional or threatening to pressurise victims into acting quickly
 
 They discourage verification and demand instant action
 
 Victims are asked to share OTPs (One-Time Passwords), card details, account information or to transfer money .
 
How to stay alert:
 
 Always verify with a known number: Call the relative or organisation using a known or trusted number before taking any action
 
 Don’t rush: Stay calm during urgent calls; fraudsters rely on panic
 
 Set a family ‘safe code’: A simple phrase known only to close family members can help confirm whether the caller is genuine
 
 Never share sensitive information: Bank and government authorities never ask for OTPs, PINs or passwords.
 
 
Report immediately:
 
 Report online fraud on the National Cyber Crime portal at cybercrime.gov.in , call on the helpline number 1930 and call ICICI Bank helpline on 1800 2662 .
