In Russia, fraudsters faked the voice of Alisher Juraev, a well-known religious figure in the country, head of the local Muslim religious organization "Ettinchi Avlod", with the help of artificial intelligence, Islam News reported.

Audio recordings asking for a loan of 200,000 rubles were sent to his Telegram subscribers.

Fraudsters made one mistake in spoofing the audio recording: the Russian word "privet" was used instead of "Hello". But next time, they will definitely learn to adapt to this habit. Therefore, the only sure way not to fall for the tricks of criminals is to be careful, not to rush to transfer money, but to check the information.

" Fortunately, the evil plan was foiled. Alisher J u raev denied the fake address to his subscribers ," the report said.

Azon Global publication also recommends to be careful in receiving, distributing, and donating information, and to learn ways to verify information at a time when information technologies and artificial intelligence are developing, and cloning of images and voices is on the rise.
