Don’t blindly trust AI recommendations. Scammers are already poisoning the system - lbc.co.uk

Scammers are now gaming AI systems to push their cons into your search results and feeds. Treat AI suggestions with the same scepticism you'd apply to a dodgy bloke in the pub — verify independently, especially before parting with money.

Stop and think before you act. If something feels urgent, threatening, or too good to be true — that urgency is the weapon. Scammers use pressure to override your judgement. Nothing is ever so urgent that you can't take five minutes to check, call back on a number you found yourself, or ask someone you trust.
