The scam
Recalling the moment she realized she had been scammed, Amy described receiving a call from individuals claiming to be from her bank's fraud team. Despite feeling pressured and panicked, she ended up authorizing a transaction that led to the loss of £5,000.
A message to others
Amy emphasized the importance of not feeling embarrassed if one falls victim to such scams, as the tactics used by con artists can be sophisticated and convincing. She encouraged others to speak out and raise awareness to help prevent similar incidents from happening.
Combatting scams with AI
In collaboration with O2, Amy has joined the Swerve the Scammers campaign by introducing Daisy – an AI designed to waste scammers' time by posing as a fake "granny." This initiative aims to deter fraudsters and protect potential victims from falling prey to their schemes.
