Reports from UK and Irish outlets describe a growing phone-scams threat in which fraudsters use AI technology to impersonate voices or process victims’ replies during calls. The warning, attributed to a tech expert, focuses on how scammers may prompt people to answer questions with a straightforward “yes.” According to the articles, responding “yes” to certain prompts can be used to generate or confirm audio for later misuse, including creating more convincing voice material for additional fraud attempts. The outlets advise people to be cautious when dealing with unknown callers and to avoid agreeing or confirming anything verbally during such calls, especially when the questions are phrased to elicit a simple “yes.” While specific wording of the three questions is not consistently detailed across the reports, the common message is that AI-assisted voice scams can rely on captured speech and confirmation responses to escalate the scam. Both sources frame the issue as an increasing sophistication in social engineering and call-based fraud tactics, emphasizing prevention and careful handling of unexpected calls.
