Organized Crime: How Your Parents Will Be Cheated
Everyone has heard about the stories about how the elderly get hooked on many various types of scams. We have all heard of the majority of scams from mailorder sweepstakes to Prices that are captured in Africa and will share their wealth if you just wire $X amount of money to them to pay their ransom. Most of these are so outrageous we find ourselves laughing about them because they are so outlandish.
We’ve all heard the classic line about how scammers will call up Grandma and they will say that they need some money and that they are in trouble so the grandmother urgently sends money to some anonymous account or wires the money through Western Union etc. So, we hope that we can educate the elderly so that they don’t so easily fall for these tricks.
What if I told you though that you’re at risk for falling for one of these tricks right now and that you’ll be clueless when it happens? Would you believe me?
Scammers have picked up their sophistication to a whole new level. They are now using AI and Deep Fake technology to make their voices sound identical to your spouse and they are good enough now that they can even be on video chats with you and it will look just like you are talking to your child but it’s actually a scammer.
So sophisticated they have become now that they will hack into your phone and into your email and they will download everything you’ve ever written to anyone and upload it into their special AI which will allow them to answer any question that you have with regards to that person they are posing as.
As you speak into the phone the AI translates your voice into words and then instantly spits out a response that that answers your question. In the past, it was possible to validate who you were talking to by asking a question from the past that only that person would know but if you ever talked about that question in text or email then the scammer will now have the answer. So no more will those questions like ‘Remember back when I asked you to take the truck to Bills? What color was Bill's boat?’ or any personalized questions like that, be a surefire way to validate who you are talking to.
I personally am aware of a group of scammers that is utilizing this technology to cheat people out of an enormous amount of wealth by posing as loved ones who have actually passed away. You have no clue when you phone them or text them because they have cloned that number or actually have that loved one's phone and they will pose as your loved one for a year after the estate has been picked clean and sold off. At that point, you may find out that they are dead when suddenly they stop communicating with you because they have harvested everything they could from the estate.
This is a real phenomenon and a real organized crime ring that is doing this. The kick of it all is that they will steal your loved one's identity and sell it for half a million dollars on the black market to an illegal immigrant looking to escape the war draft in Russia or Ukraine or a criminal looking for a new start.
This is a real crime ring and if they target you then you can count on being gangstalked, having your life run into the ground, and you can count on them trying to make you so depressed and feel so hopeless that you kill yourself. This is how they get a clean identity without them having to kill you. They use untraceable gangstalking methods to remove your hope until you finally give up and kill yourself. They target the depressed specifically because of how vulnerable they are and how easy they are to isolate.
I can help you if you find yourself in this situation. Support is what you need the most because everyone who is friends or family will think you are crazy if you try to tell them what is happening because ‘these things don’t happen in the real world.’ Well, maybe that was true in the 90s but these things absolutely happen now.
Reach out if you find yourself in such a situation.
