A family in Scottsdale, Arizona is reeling after they thought their daughter was being kidnapped. According to the mother, she got a call from her 15-year-old daughter while she was out of town on a ski trip and heard her sobbing on the other end of the line. A man appeared on the phone line and said, “Listen here. I’ve got your daughter. This is how it’s going to go down. You call the police, you call anybody, I’m going to pop her so full of drugs. I’m going to have my way with her and I’m going to drop her off in Mexico.”

The masculine voice first asked for $1 million, then later changed his ransom offer to $50,000.

It turned out all to be for not. In the midst of the commotion, the daughter was contacted and was confused at all of the chaos. She was perfectly safe. Someone had created an AI clone of her voice, which even matched her inflection points and crying.

The FBI is currently investigating this trend.
