A phone company developed an AI 'granny' to beat scammers at their own game

I just got targeted by phone scammers that sounded so legit but thankfully I am not a gullible person. If your caller id shows your local sheriff’s office and the guy says he has an outstanding warrant because you didn’t show up for jury duty and you have to pay 💰, hang up.

He transferred me to his captain who said I needed to pay 4500.00 to freeze the warrant. Yeah, right buddy. We called the sheriff’s department from another line and of course they said it was a scam. Just putting it out there so no one gets taken by these scumbags.

😂 OK... I need to get a hold of this tech... I would never have to answer my phone to scammers etc. ( not that I ever do, if you are not in my directory, the call is silenced, & I do not pick up), but this is awesome! Watch the video, so good! #phoneScams #AI #tech
