With the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), many tasks can now be done in a jiffy. But, it also has many dangers. With the help of AI, hackers are committing fraud using AI-generated code, phishing emails, and deepfakes. The frauds happening with the help of AI are so realistic that even security experts are fooled many times. Forbes reported in one of its reports that scammers are targeting Gmail accounts through super-realistic AI scams.

How does this AI scam work?
This method of scam is quite similar to normal phishing, but with the help of AI, scammers are becoming more successful in it. Scammers send messages to users to restore Gmail accounts. They get a confirmation link in this mail. Along with this, if users ignore the mail, then scammers also call from AI.

If a user receives this call, then scammers talk to them through AI. Scammers inform them about suspicious activity on Google accounts. Many times users fall prey to scammers. After this, they unknowingly open the scammer's phishing mail and click on the link. This link gives the scammers access to the user's Google business page.

How to identify a scam

This type of hacking attempt is very dangerous for all users. In such a situation, it is important to understand how to identify these methods of scam. Here we are telling you some such methods, by which you can easily identify these scam attempts.

Identifying any scam becomes even easier when the scammers show haste. They try to create a panic situation in front of you. If something like this ever happens to you, then understand that something is wrong.

Along with this, a hint about the scam is also found in the fact that the support team of most companies does not contact the user over the phone. They do not ask the user for their password or other personal information.

Check account security from time to time.
Gmail has 2.5 billion users worldwide. This AI scam is being used to target Gmail users. If you also use Gmail, then you must be careful. Do not blindly trust any suspicious notification, email, or call.

Google shares the details related to your account not through phone but through automated email. Along with this, you should also check the security settings of your Google account from time to time.
