AI Scams: Why They’re Hard to Spot (and How to Stay Safe)

AI scams have changed.

Scams are no longer easy to identify. AI-generated emails are well-written, deepfake voice calls sound real, and fake websites look legitimate. This makes traditional “just be careful” advice outdated.

While researching this topic, I put together a practical guide that explains:

  • How modern AI scams actually work

  • Why urgency and trust are the real weapons

  • What habits matter more than tools

  • How developers and non-tech users alike can protect themselves

I didn’t repost the full article here to avoid duplication, but you can read the complete guide on my site:

Would love to hear how others verify suspicious messages or emails in their daily workflow.
