Fraud Alert: How Artificial Intelligence is Fueling Tax Fraud and Robotic Scams
Escalating Scam Alert: The Rise of Robotic Fraud
Fraud and tax fraud are major concerns in today's digital age. Artificial intelligence is transforming the way scammers operate, making fraudulent activities more prevalent and harder to detect. Recent findings show that Americans received an astounding average of 2.56 billion robocalls a month from January to September 2025, marking the highest level in six years. This surge poses significant risks as consumers are increasingly targeted by these malicious calls.
Types of Scams and Their Growing Volume
- Robocalls: Unsolicited automated calls that often request personal information.
- Robotexts: Over 19 billion automated texts were received in 2024, a dramatic increase from previous years.
- Consumer Reaction: Approximately one-third of Americans receive at least one scam call daily.
Fraudsters are leveraging advanced technologies, and the trend is expected to worsen without effective safeguards. Consumers must remain vigilant against these deceptive practices.
