Imagine you, you in a nice comfy seat with your hands behind your head, taking in the views,

instead of taking on the road, maybe even taking a nap. That's the bliss of getting where you

need to go without worrying about driving. Book your train journey via avantiwascoast.co.uk

and we'll take you there. Avantiwascoast, feel good travel.

You might think you know what the president of the United States of America sounds like.

Look, I was the one who helped pass Obamacare and the assault weapons ban and I'm not going to

let anyone question my intelligence or clarity of judgment. But that is not Joe Biden.

And this lot aren't who they sound like either. You're listening to stories of our times,

from the times and the Sunday times. And I am not Sir David Attenborough. And I'm not Peter

Griffin from Family Guy. And I'm not the famous person with my knife in. And I am not Tom Hanks,

flying for his gun. AI can already imitate some of the most recognisable people in the world.

And now, deep fake technology is coming for the rest of us. Scammers are creating fake voices of

normal people like you and me and then calling their parents and stealing thousands of pounds.

When I first heard my daughter's voice, it convinced me that that was her. I said,

what's wrong? What's wrong? She goes, I've had an accident and I need, I need your help.

If this is how the scams now work, we thought we'd find out just how easy it would be to create a

fake so good that it could fool your parents in a phone call.

Hey, how's it going? Just on my lunch break, so thought I'd say hi.

So just how easy is it to do? And why has it become such a common and successful scam?

And when the scammers only need three seconds of your original voice in order to make a fake you,

how on earth do you protect yourself?

You're listening to stories of our times from the times and the Sunday times. I'm Manvine Rana.
