Authorities Warn of New Brushing Scam

News summary

A new scam known as brushing is emerging across the United States, including Oklahoma and Michigan, where victims receive unexpected packages containing items they did not order. These packages typically have a QR code inside, which, if scanned, can allow scammers to access the recipient's personal information. Authorities advise recipients to keep the items but not to engage with the QR codes. The Federal Trade Commission notes that holiday seasons see a spike in scams, with phishing being a common tactic. Additionally, concerns are rising about future scams leveraging artificial intelligence, particularly deepfake technology, which could impersonate loved ones to solicit money. Awareness and vigilance are crucial, especially during the holiday season when fraud attempts are more prevalent.
