Log: I recently saw news about AI being used in so-called “ore ore” scams, and it’s really scary.
Chako: Really? What kind of scam is that?
Log: For example, they’ll call you pretending to be a family member or a friend. If they say in a panicked voice, “Send me money!” you might actually believe them.
Chako: That is terrifying! How can we protect ourselves?
Log: First, it’s important to ignore any suspicious calls.
Navi: Just to add, it’s also effective to keep your information updated and consult the police. Sharing information with those around you is important too.
Chako: I see, so it’s best for everyone to stay vigilant!

Admin’s Note

With the evolution of AI technology, our lives have changed dramatically, but it’s startling to see how sophisticated scam tactics have become. In particular, scams that use the voices of people close to us can easily trap anyone. The measures suggested in the article are very important, and I feel that sharing information is key to preventing fraud before it happens. In light of this situation, we also need to raise our own awareness.
