11/23/2025 Washington, DC — ​ It seems Artificial Intelligence is everywhere and used for just about everything in today’s society. It’s a scam artist’s dream, and federal officials say they are raking in millions of dollars from unsuspecting Americans. There’s a new scam that tricks people into believing their loved one is in trouble. The caller on the other end sounds just like their loved one. The FCC warns about the “grandparents scam,” where criminals target grandparents, knowing that a lot of the time, it is hard for them to say no to their grandchild. Scammers use this to their advantage, accessing people’s personal information by “mining social media or purchasing data from cyber thieves.” They then create these storylines to prey on grandparents' fears. Using AI, the scammer calls impersonating a grandchild or another close relative, claiming they are in a crisis. They ask for immediate financial assistance and sometimes even “spoof” the caller ID to make it appear it’s coming from a legitimate source. The FCC says the imposter will often claim the “relative” has been in an accident or arrested and needs help immediately. According to officials, the scammer may ask something like, “Please don’t let mom and dad know,” and may hand the phone to someone posing as a lawyer seeking immediate payment. ​The FCC said one of the best deterrents against these scams is awareness. The FCC advises going to the FCC consumer guide to learn about spoofed caller ID and illegal robocalls.
