The good news? A few smart habits can help you stay ahead of the game

First, take a beat and verify. AI scammers force urgency, claiming a loved one is in trouble or that your account is at risk

because AI can only copy what it finds. In the end, staying alert, asking questions, and trusting your instincts will help keep your money and identity safe in the age of AI scams
