Police caution against silent calls that may record voices for AI scams, urging vigilance and verification of suspicious contacts
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have warned the public to remain vigilant against unknown calls that disconnect or produce no sound, as they may be used in voice exploitation scams.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said no reports have been received of victims having their voices recorded and used via AI to defraud contacts.
“Nevertheless, the public should exercise caution and is advised not to disclose personal information during suspicious calls,” he said.
He advised verifying any call through official channels if it claims to involve authorities or financial institutions.
Any suspicious calls or messages should be ended immediately and reported to the police.
Rusdi made the remarks in response to a Facebook post by the Kuala Lumpur police highlighting the latest scam tactics. – Bernama
