VOICE CLONING SCAM Attorney General Ashley Moody issued a consumer alert to caution Floridians about a new, innovative phone scamming technology that recreates familiar voices in an attempt to steal money. The technology allows people to use near-perfect reproductions of real people’s voices. Scammers could use the technology to pose as the target’s family member or friend asking for money in an emergency. If you experience a scam, you can report it by calling 1(866) 9NO-SCAM or by visiting MyFloridaLegal.com.
