Holiday season just hit different when AI gets weaponized. We're seeing a sharp uptick in sophisticated scams during the shopping rush—phishing emails, deepfake videos, fake customer service chats. All powered by generative AI tools that make the cons way more convincing.



The playbook's pretty dark: scammers clone legit brands, craft hyper-personalized messages that sail past your bullshit detector, even impersonate support staff with AI-generated voices. Your average person gets hit hard, but crypto holders? You're in the crosshairs too—especially if you're moving assets around the holidays or dealing with exchanges and wallets.

Stay sharp out there. Verify before you click. No amount of AI sophistication beats basic OPSEC. If something feels off, it probably is.

NGL, this holiday season is really dangerous. I didn't expect the deepfake voice part... People in the crypto world need to be more careful. I even have to enable twofa + Google Authenticator on the exchange.

ngl this wave of AI scams is really intense, deepfake combined with social engineering phishing is taking off... My friend almost got tricked into a cloned customer service account, luckily the verification was timely.

That fake DeepVoice setup is really ruthless. My colleague almost got scammed, but luckily they reacted in time.

Comments from over three years of being single: ngl this scam is really fierce, deepfake voice technology is hard to defend against... my friend almost fell for it the other day --- Damn, synthetic voices can even fool my own mom, let alone customer service verification --- Really, the holiday season is already chaotic, and now we have to guard against AI scams, so exhausting --- During Double 12, I spent half an hour just verifying numbers, I will never trust strangers' links again --- Honestly, it still depends on oneself; no matter how smart AI is, it can't fool vigilant people --- The crypto world is even more dangerous... exchanges don't dare to click on strangers' links anymore, too many cases
