## Resource

For National Consumer Protection Week, Mailin’ It! tackles the growing threat of AI-powered fraud with Stephanie Glad, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service's Program Manager for Mail Fraud. Stephanie tells Karla and Jeff how scammers are leveraging sophisticated technology, such as voice cloning and AI-generated text, to make their schemes more personal, urgent, and difficult to detect. She also gives listeners important tips on how to identify these advanced scams, protect their personal information and finances, and the critical first steps to take if they suspect they’ve become a victim.
