❤️ Imagine this. You’ve been chatting to someone for months online and you’ve built a real relationship. You’re falling in love. You’ve heard of scams like this, so you ask them for photos and videos. They are who they say they are. You’ve seen the proof. But what if they aren’t? Scammers can spend months building relationships with their victims. Meanwhile, AI technology can now recreate faces and voices using just a few images or audio clips found online. So what should you do? 🔵 Seeing is not always believing: Images and videos can be faked. Be especially wary if a conversation with someone you met online leads to requests for personal information or money. 🔵 Don’t rush. Even if you believe you’re speaking to someone you trust, take a moment to assess the situation. 🔵 Report it. If you suspect a scam, contact local law enforcement immediately. Wait. Validate. #DontTakeTheBait Funded by 🇯🇵

Imagine this. Your boss calls and asks for your help. It’s urgent. It’s definitely him: you can see and hear him clearly. But what if it isn’t? Deepfake technology has evolved rapidly. AI can now replicate real faces, voices and behaviours using just a few photos, videos or audio clips found online. The threat extends beyond the workplace; scammers can impersonate friends and family, preying on emotion and creating a false sense of urgency to make you act quickly. So what should you do? 🔵 Don’t rush. Even if you believe you’re speaking to someone you trust, take a moment to assess the situation. 🔵 Verify. Hang up and call the person back on their usual number. 🔵 Use a safeword. Establish a secret phrase with close contacts. 🔵 Secure your accounts. Turn on two-factor authentication everywhere. Activate multi-step verification for large business transactions. 🔵 Report it. If you suspect a scam, contact local law enforcement immediately. 🔵 Train your teams. Business owners: make sure your staff are trained to recognise phishing, vishing and other social engineering tactics. Wait. Validate. #DontTakeTheBait Find out more ➡️ 🔗 Funded by 🇯🇵

Imagine this. Your daughter is travelling abroad for the first time on her own. You’re proud, but of course a little worried. One day she calls, sobbing. She’s been robbed. She’s stuck and needs money now. It’s definitely her. You’d know her voice anywhere. 🛑 But what if it isn’t? AI-facilitated scams are becoming more frequent - and more convincing - every day. Scammers can impersonate friends and family, preying on emotions and creating a false sense of urgency to make you act quickly. So what should you do? Slow down, double-check information and shield what matters most with added security like safewords and two-factor authentication. Wait. Validate. #DontTakeTheBait Funded by 🇯🇵

As we approach the International Day of Remembrance for Fallen Officers, we take a moment to recognize that the fight against crime is never without risk. Behind every badge, is someone’s parent, child, sibling or partner - and families waiting for them to come home. #FallenOfficers
