SUMMARY: Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson is alerting citizens about the rise in AI-assisted investment scams. Scammers, using AI, can mimic investment advisors to manipulate victims and attain their sensitive information. With Mississippi being the most targeted state for spam calls, many of which are AI-generated, the risk of investment fraud is significant. Watson advises thorough verification of investments, as they must be registered in the state. To safeguard against such scams, Watson recommends ignoring suspicious messages, verifying investment companies, and being wary of fake endorsements. Legal action should be taken against suspected fraud, and Watson emphasizes the importance of educating oneself and others to prevent becoming scam victims.
