US mother's call from 'kidnapped daughter' was AI scam

Jennifer DeStefano told the Senate judiciary committee about the fear she felt when she received an ominous phone call on a Friday last April.

On the other end of the line was her 15-year-old daughter - or at least what sounded exactly like her daughter's voice. "On the other end was our daughter Briana sobbing and crying, saying 'Mom'."

Briana was on a ski trip when the incident took place, so DeStefano assumed she had injured herself and was calling to let her know.

DeStefano heard the voice of her daughter and recreated the interaction for her audience: "Mom, I messed up', with more crying and sobbing. Not thinking twice, I asked her again, 'OK, what happened?'"
