AI is making scams harder to spot, but a quick pause can still help protect you.
Scammers are using AI to create realistic emails, text messages, websites, images, videos and voice recordings. It’s harder to spot the fakes, but you can help protect your money by watching for:
• Pressure to act quickly
• Requests for money, passwords or personal information
• Threatening or fear-based messages
• Offers that seem too good to be true
• Content that seems unusual or out of character
Always think twice about an unexpected message. You can help yourself by pausing to verify it using contact information you already trust.
If you receive an unusual request, our advisors are here to help you make safe financial decisions.
