Purportedly AI-Cloned Voice Allegedly Used to Defraud Play School Owner of ₹97,500 (~$1,080 USD) in Indore, India
A woman who runs a play school in Indore, India, was reportedly defrauded of ₹97,500 (approximately $1,080 USD) after a fraudster allegedly used AI-based voice cloning to impersonate her cousin, an Uttar Pradesh police employee, and claim a friend needed urgent cardiac surgery. The victim was reportedly persuaded to transfer funds via QR codes before discovering no money had actually been credited.
