Business analyst Michael Campbell says he almost fell victim to a sophisticated AI scam.

Campbell said he saw $ 10,000 appear in his chequing account but when he tried to transfer it, at the request of the person on the phone, it did not go through.

He suspects that his voice may have been cloned in an earlier call to the bank to initiate this scam.

The Better Business Bureau says if something seems wrong or weird, listen to that voice.
