How Scammers Use A.I.

How Scammers Use A.I. is coming to the Southport Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library on Tuesday, October 27, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM. It's part of the library's financial literacy program, and it's aimed at seniors and adults.

The session breaks down the latest AI-driven fraud threats, and it doesn't just stay at a high level. They'll walk through voice cloning—where a scammer can mimic a familiar voice—deceptive pop-up alerts, and the highly realistic social media profiles and websites that can look exactly like the real thing. The whole thing is built around real-world examples, so you'll see exactly how these scams play out rather than just hearing about them in the abstract. The practical advice comes from the Indiana Securities Division, the state agency that handles these kinds of fraud cases.

If you want to keep reading on your own, the library has a curated book list called Outsmarting Scammers that you can check out. It's a good companion to the session if you're interested in the broader picture of how to protect yourself.

The Southport Branch is at 2630 East Stop 11 Road, 46227. The session runs from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM on Tuesday, October 27, and entry is free.
