First, I'm going to take the text that they said in that call and ask ChatGPT to rewrite this, but make it sound more like a natural English speaker would say. Cool. Now take that and make it sound even more casual, like something you just hear on a phone call or something. Okay, that looks good. Now I'll run this through a more modern text-to-speech software. Okay, it's done.

Let's take a listen to this call now.

You see how much better it is with modern tools? And seriously, that took me two minutes of just using automated tools to fix it up. The audio went from stupid to scary. I know. It's a bummer. And maybe you can still spot that that's AI-generated. But would your grandparents think that?

I improved it because I want you to be aware of the tools that scammers have at their disposal today if they wanted to. And I want you to think about how much better their scams are going to be in the future. We see that they're using text-to-speech software today, and it's just a matter of time that that text-to-speech software sounds really convincing. And then what?

What red flags would you notice in this audio to make you think it's a scam? Now you've really got to think, well, hold on. Do I actually have a support contract somewhere? Who are these people? Let me call them up and find out. And now you're on a phone call with a scammer, a position you really don't want to be in.

And you can see how this whole thing is going to get trickier and trickier in the future.

If I'm the victim, I'd be like, okay, I have no memory of this charge. Go ahead, refund me and see you later. But it's trickier than that. Here's one of the actual scam calls that Jim captured.

Now, here's where the scam part comes in. The scammer will say that they want to make sure the money goes into the proper bank account and will ask to see the victim's screen by using some screen sharing application. And then they'll ask to take control of the victim's computer.

Once they have control of the victim's computer and can see their online bank balances, then they'll say they're initiating the refund for whatever, say $300. And since the victim is logged into the bank's website, what the scammer will do is edit the web page in the browser to make it look like the money was just deposited into the account. But it's a fake deposit, though.

It just looks like the money went in. But the scammer just faked the whole transaction by editing the HTML on the victim's screen. But here's the tricky part. The scammer will put in the wrong amount for the refund. If the victim was expecting a $300 refund, the scammer would instead put in a $5,000 deposit instead. Then act all surprised that they put in the wrong amount.
