Scammers are using artificial intelligence to impersonate real law enforcement officers, cloning their voices to convince people they have missed jury duty or have a warrant out for their arrest.

    I agree this is terrible, and I encourage people to talk to their older / non technical friends and family

    At the same time, that seems like a lot of work on the part of the scammers when the average person wouldn’t know what their local sheriff sounds like. Osceola doesn’t seem like a small town.

    The grandparents scam (cloning the voice of a grandchild) is a lot more concerning IMO

      Osceola county is huge, parts of Disney are in Osceola county, it’s basically a suburb of Orlando.

      And I’m fairly certain that I’ve been in the sheriff’s office in the thumbnail pic but at no point in time could I have told you what the local sheriff sounded like.
