Speaker 2 (00:25):
This week on Fraud Friday, Marie, you've obviously done a
little bit of research now that we talked about it
before the show. AI Voice cloning, the AI voice clone
scam is now running rampant. I can't believe we're living
in the era that a piece of software that can
duplicate your voice identically.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, it's and let me tell you it is a
plethora of AI scams that are going around.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yeah, I know there's one. I know there's one that
I specifically use for certain things. But when it comes
to the world place here, it's called eleven Labs. They
can clone your voice. All you have to do is
speak any amount of time, maybe just your voice, reads
a paragraph into their cloning system in their in their
in their on their website, and it clones your voice immediately.
(01:15):
And I've got a woman by the name of Maria,
Maria on the phone with us and Carla the daughter Marie,
are you there.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Can you tell us a little bit about Can you
tell Marie and I what you and your daughter just
went through.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Just a couple of nights ago, I received a call
from someone who wasn't really my daughter.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I was sold she was.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
In a really, really bad accident, a really bad car accident,
that she broke her nose sixteen stitches and she was
arrested and antested for alcohol.
Speaker 7 (01:44):
Oh my goods, WHOA.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
She also told you that you need to call right
away a bail bondsman, and this bail bondsman needs twenty
eight thousand dollars from you.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Correct, correct, And this voice, you had no doubt in
your mind in the moment that that was your daughter's voice.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
You really thought it was your daughter.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I really really could not delete it. I mean, it
was just really sounded like my daughter.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
It was her voice.
Speaker 7 (02:11):
Right right, And you must have been freaking so Friday.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Welcome to AI people. I hope you enjoy it. I
hope you enjoy it. I know it's making your life
a little easier. But wait, just this is just the
tip of the eyes. Well right for the future. Good
luck with your AI and what they do is once
they cloned your daughter's voice from either YouTube or any
from anywhere online, then what they do is they type
in the script I'm in jail. I broke my nose.
(02:37):
I don't know what they can. They can increase the tempo,
decrease the tempo, the actual sincerity. What what is your
daughter's AI voice? Do you wanted you to do?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Told me for me to call the failed bond for
twenty eight thousand dollars. My thought was on vacation, so
thank god she went away and came back two days later.
My other friend told me not to do it because
it could be a scam, and it turns out it
was a scan. I almost fished off the twenty eight
thousand dollars and I don't have that type of money.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Now I understand Carla's on the phone right now, carl
are you there?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (03:09):
Definitely was not in a car accident.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, I mean you must have been completely freaked out.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
What ended up happening?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
How did you find out what's been going on with
your voice being stolen?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
I had no idea at first. I'm in Miami with
my friends, and it occurred to me, you know, to
check in with my mom before I start, you know,
hanging out in partying, and I FaceTime her and she's
like hysterical, and I'm asking him, like, mom, what's up right?
And then it turns out like she had gotten a
call that I was drunk and had gotten in a
(03:41):
car accident and that I was like arrested. And then
it almost didn't register to her that I was talking
to her.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Because she was so hysterical.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
But yeah, that didn't happen at all, Like I was.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What a sense of your identity being invaded? I know
it's a creepy feeling when you get your car stolen,
but when somebody clones your voice, that must be a
whole nother level of creepiness. All right, Carl, let me
ask you a question. How how would on earth how
would anybody be able to I know it's how it's done,
but by what means? Did they clone your voice? How
do you think?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Well?
Speaker 8 (04:14):
I make thinking of tutorial videos and I post them
on Instagram and on TikTok, and I'm guessing bingo, they sw.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Me through there, you know, And of course they left
a number. There's a number that we're gonna dial right now,
you guys, haven't dialed the number this show.

doing this. We know it's for money, obviously.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Because I can, because you're stupid and I'm smart.
Speaker 2 (09:00):

have any remorse whatsoever, is there perhaps something you could
tell my listeners right now to help them.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Yeah, absolutely, and warn them.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, it's only a matter of you know, it's funny
that you bring that up, Murray, because it's only a
matter of time before this guy, Tommy quote unquote gets caught.
First of all, only a matter of time. And more so,
many people listen to this morning show and listen to
this radio station now are war. They've been warned about
people like this Tommy and what he does we know
we know, so I hope we've narrowed down your success ratio, Tommy,
(09:53):

do an update on this call, your number more than
likely will be it's connected. Thanks Tommy, and hope to
see in jail soon. Bye bye.
