The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has unfortunately led to new scams that can impact members like you. At Tucoemas, we are committed to safeguarding your financial well-being. Here’s what you need to know about AI scams and how to protect yourself.

What Are AI Scams?

AI scams use advanced technologies to create deceptive and convincing content aimed at defrauding individuals. These scams can take various forms:

1. Phishing Attacks: Automated phishing emails or messages that appear legitimate, tricking you into revealing personal information.

2. Deepfakes: Realistic fake videos or audio recordings that impersonate trusted individuals or organizations.

3. Synthetic Identities: AI-generated fake identities used to open accounts or make fraudulent transactions.

How to Protect Yourself

1. Stay Informed: Be aware of the latest scam tactics. Scammers continuously evolve their methods to bypass security measures.

2. Verify Communications: Always verify the authenticity of any communication you receive, especially if it involves sensitive information. Contact the source directly using known contact details.

3. Use Strong Passwords: Employ complex passwords and change them regularly. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an added layer of security.

4. Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your account statements for unauthorized transactions. Report suspicious activity immediately.

5. Invest in Security: Consider using advanced security tools and services with real-time fraud detection and prevention.
