Online scams are rising phenomenally, and some experts believe that it is about to explode even further. According to a report by Scamwatch, an online scam-monitoring website, a total of 257,392 cases have been reported by October 2023, marking a sharp increase from 2022's 239,237 cases. Cybercriminals have begun taking the help of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT to start campaigns at a much faster rate and they are making their fake claims much more believable, indicating they will easily fool the victim with their nefarious tactics. Earlier, this was a huge problem for cybercriminals.
Speaking with CBS MoneyWatch, Michael Bordash, senior vice president of US-based telecom company Syniverse, said, “Unfortunately, criminals are getting much better at writing English. ChatGPT is a big help for them in crafting messages. You don't have to be a proficient English speaker to have ChatGPT write a campaign for you”.
AI chatbots, such as the popular ChatGPT, are capable of generating convincing messages in well-written and grammatically correct sentences, which can make them seem more legitimate. As scammers are beginning to use these AI tools, it can make such scams even more dangerous.
This means people can no longer spot scams just by reading the language, which normally would be filled with spelling and grammatical mistakes. But that's not the entirety of the problem. AI tools can also produce messages at a breakneck speed.
"They can use ChatGPT to take a campaign they've used before and tell it to come up with five variants," Bordash told CBS MoneyWatch.
So, does that mean it is a losing battle against cybercriminals? Not really. But people need to be more mindful when they receive a lucrative offer through an email or a messaging app.
1. Online scams often try to create a sense of urgency to distract you from thinking about it. Whenever you get any communication that emphasizes words such as “urgent”, or “immediately”, etc, always take a step back, and go through the content carefully.
2. Another common trick used by them is to offer a lucrative deal. If you're getting an unreasonably good deal or a lot of freebies, it is better to call up the institution and verify before you go ahead.
3. Never open a link or scan a QR code that comes with such messages. If they pretend to be from another institution, search online about the same and see if you can find more information.
4. Under no circumstances should you ever send anyone your financial information.
5. And most importantly, report any suspicious or offensive behavior on the platform. This may save you as well as many others online.

Adrian Monk has always been consistent. He’s never been a fan of germs, heights, loud noises, crowds, elevators, milk, or plenty of other things. But he knows how to solve a murder. Monk, the 2000s USA Network procedural centered around the fictional detective played by Tony Shalhoub, was not as consistent; after a few seasons, the show seemed to reverse-engineer its mysteries from the most uncomfortable situations they could put Monk in for an episode. The quality of the show suffered for it, but Shalhoub’s compassion and meticulous care always tethered the show to something.
Here’s a blast from the past: PSone game Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace looks set to hit PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 via the PlayStation Plus Classics catalog.
Much to the disappointment of weirdos who play Like a Dragon games with English voices (we're just joking!), Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name didn't feature an English dub option when it released last month. However, developer RGG Studio was quick to promise that English voicework would be added via a post-launch update — and that update's coming very soon. It's dropping at some point in December, and we're getting more info on it in the near future.
RGG Studio's knack for storytelling is legendary at this point, and so we'd actually advise against watching this new video for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This is an extended, ten-minute story trailer for the upcoming RPG, and while we think it focuses on the early hours of Ichiban's next adventure, this is exactly the kind of narrative that you'll want to experience as fresh as possible when the game comes out.

Alongside a new trailer showing what Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will sound like in English, Sega also confirmed Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name's English dub will release for free this month. The new trailer shows scenes that will be familiar to anyone who watched the Japanese trailer back in September, but it's nice to hear familiar voices connected to this new footage. The trailer also gives us a chance to hear Daniel Dae Kim's Masataka Ebina and Danny Trejo's Dwight. Here's what Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has to say about the two characters.
Eleven global tech giants have pledged to do more to tackle the scourge of online scammers, the UK government said on Thursday, billing the promise as a world first.
