Wonder if I got a scam call via AI the other day. It seemed more sophisticated than other ones I've gotten and things they said to me were very reassuring but I insisted on calling them back via their public-facing support line. Nobody knew what I was talking about when I called back.

This is what’s going to kill the “we’ll hold your place in line for you and call you back” on the automated telephone systems UNLESS the automated system reads/texts you a random 7+ digit code that the rep that “calls you back” has to provide to **you**. Otherwise, how the hell do I know you’re actually from my .

Probably. I think almost all calls these days are scams, like phishing, advertisements, voice cloning, the usual nigerian prince (he's still alive).
