The Grandparent Scam now has a new twist to it, as artificial intelligence is now being used to defraud seniors.

According to the Better Business Bureau, criminals are now using AI to clone voices and to steal cash from would-be victims.

Wes Lafortune, the communications and media specialist for the BBB Serving Southern Alberta and East Kootenay says there are ways you can spot this scam.

Lafortune says the BBB is urging consumers to talk to family members about this scam so they can be prepared and avoid becoming a victim.
