Incident 12803 Report
Reported Use of AI Voice and Identity Manipulation in the Ongoing 'Phantom Hacker' Fraud Scheme

2023-10-20

Reports allege that updated variants of the long-running "Phantom Hacker" scam use purported AI tools to enhance impersonation, including voice cloning, spoofed caller ID, and realistic digital artifacts. Fraudsters reportedly pose as tech support, bank staff, and government officials in a three-phase scheme that pressures mostly older adults to transfer funds to accounts controlled by scammers.
