  • AI technology is enabling increasingly sophisticated scams, including a Gmail takeover scheme where scammers impersonate Google.
  • IT consultant Sam Mitrovic encountered this scam, receiving a spoofed call and email that appeared legitimate but contained subtle red flags.
  • Users are urged to be vigilant and take steps to secure their accounts, such as changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication.
With AI assistants and tools now widely accessible, scams are getting even more sophisticated. One such Gmail takeover scam is currently going around, wherein users are tricked into thinking they are interacting with Google. The scammers even spoof Google phone numbers and email addresses for the sake of credibility.
