Online Fraud:The risk of online fraud has increased a lot. Every day there are news related to cybercrime and online scams. Now cybercriminals are duping users through phone calls as well. Courier company FedEx has asked users to be very careful of such scams.

Nowadays, such crimes are happening in which users are being told through fake calls that an illegal shipment in their name has been caught. To solve the matter, the fraudsters ask the users to press 9 on the phone to connect with FedEx’s customer care. This is where the real scam begins.

Hackers are also making full use of AI

Users get connected to customer care as soon as they press 9 on the phone. Here the hackers call themselves representatives of FedEx and talk like a professional customer care executive. Due to all this, users easily get trapped in the trap of cyber criminals and share their details with them. Hackers are also making full use of AI in this scam. With the help of AI, hackers clone the talking style of any customer care executive and make the user their victim.

Fake notifications and urgent messages are also being used

According to experts, hackers also confuse users by sending fake notifications and urgent messages. In the messages, users are informed about tempting offers and schemes. Out of greed, users tap on the wrong link sent in the messages and notifications and unknowingly install the virus-infected app on their phone. Through this app, hackers access the user’s device and access the details present in it. The worrying thing is that this can also empty your bank account.
