Bank/Police Impersonation Using AI Deepfake Calls

How Bank/Police Impersonation Using AI Deepfake Calls Works

Overview: This modern scam preys on the familiarity and authority of voice. Scammers use artificial intelligence (AI) to clone voices of real police officers, bank managers, or government officials, calling people with urgent warnings of cybercrime or suspicious account activity. The use of AI deepfake technology adds realism and can fool even tech-savvy Indians. The danger here is both widespread—targeting anyone with a mobile and bank account—and difficult to verify in the moment due to authentic-sounding voices and urgent, high-pressure tactics. How It Works: Victims receive a call from a number that appears official or is unknown. The caller, using an AI-generated robo-voice, claims there’s been suspicious activity on your bank or Aadhaar account—a hack, illegal transfer, or KYC update gone wrong. The caller pressures the victim to act immediately, demanding account access, OTPs, or a quick UPI transfer to a 'safe' account while threatening consequences if ignored. Often
