Virtual kidnapping scams are a terrifying new form of fraud that can affect any family. In this episode, we dive into Jennifer DeStafano's true crime nightmare — a shocking scam where fraudsters use AI to replicate a child's voice, making it sound like they've been kidnapped to extort money.
Using AI-generated voices ourselves, we recreate the chilling threats Jennifer received while her daughter Brianna was safely asleep after ski racing practice. This highlights how modern scammers have moved beyond traditional hacks and physical crimes to exploit technology in frightening new ways.
Join us as we expose the dangerous tactics behind these scams and share practical tips to protect your loved ones from falling prey to similar fraud. Stay informed and stay safe by understanding how these schemes operate and what you can do to prevent them.

Nb - The Words " and part of it is not, its AI generated" as well as voices that aren't Cee's were AI generated. The crying sobs come from Epidemic Sound's library rather than AI.
