Emerging Scams: New Fraud Tactics To Watch For

Deepfake AI Boss Scam
Synthetic Identity Scam
Fake Interface Scams
Scams that exploit trusted digital interfaces — customer support chats, in-app tools, or embedded widgets — to deceive users who expect those interfaces to be legitimate. Because the environment feels official, warning signs are easier to miss.
