A woman in Orlando, Florida received a phone call from a voice that sounded exactly like a friend, claiming to be in jail; a follow-up call from a supposed public defender then demanded bail money. Convinced by the cloned voice, she handed over thousands of dollars in cash to couriers sent to her home. The case is part of a wider pattern of AI voice-cloning scams that impersonate loved ones in fake emergencies to pressure victims into handing over cash before they can verify the story.
