Siri Led to Scam That Almost Broke 82-Year-Old | Wilmington News

An 82-year-old woman nearly lost her life savings after Siri connected her to scammers who impersonated American Express and Bank of America, using a fake number and an overpayment scam to trick her into sending $100K. Her quick instincts saved her—she hung up and froze her account. This chilling case warns everyone: never trust voice assistants or search results for financial calls. Always use official numbers from your bank or card provider. Verify before you dial—convenience can’t come at the cost of your money.
