Bank3 Technology Tip: Imposter Scams Are on the Rise

With the continued enhancements in artificial intelligence (AI), criminals are making use of DEEPFAKES, or media that is generated or manipulated by AI, to gain your trust and scam you out of your hard-earned money. Deepfakes are altered images, videos, or audio that may depict people you know — including friends and family — or public figures such as celebrities, government officials, and law enforcement.

How to Detect a Deepfake:

Look For Inconsistencies:

Are any of the facial features blurry or distorted?
Does the person blink too much or too little?
Do the hair and teeth look real?
Are the audio and video out of sync?
Is the video tone flat or unnatural?
Does the visual show odd or unnatural shadows or lighting?

Check out this new educational infographic on these scams produced by the ABA Foundation and FBI to help YOU detect and protect yourself from Deepfake scams.
