Romance scams are increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence to deceive victims, with scammers using AI to disguise themselves in video calls. Authorities are warning individuals to remain vigilant as these scams become more sophisticated. In Australia, a Perth woman was recently defrauded of thousands of dollars through an AI deepfake romance scam. Another victim, Deslie Harvey, lost nearly $60,000 when an Australian-based hacker drained her savings while she was caring for her sick husband.
