AI-powered scams: The new face of fraud
By: The Roseville Police Department Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we live and work, but it is also giving criminals powerful new tools to commit fraud. Scammers are now using AI to create highly convincing impersonations, making it harder than ever to tell what’s real and what’s fake. In 2024 alone, U.S. consumers lost more than $16 billion to cyber-enabled crimes, according to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. Experts warn that AI-generated scams are expected to be one of the most significant fraud threats in 2026. Unlike traditional scams, which often feature obvious red flags such as poor grammar or suspicious email addresses, AI-powered fraud is far more sophisticated. Criminals now rely on voice cloning, deepfake videos, and AI-generated messages to create urgent and emotional situations designed to trick victims. With just a few seconds of audio from a social media post, scammers can clone someone’s voice so accurately that it may sound indistinguishable from the real person. Victims might receive a frantic phone call from what sounds exactly like a loved one claiming they have been injured or arrested and need money immediately. Others may receive a realistic video call that appears to be from a company executive requesting an urgent wire transfer. AI can also generate highly polished phishing emails that look identical to legitimate messages from banks, delivery services, or government agencies. Common AI-generated scams Voice cloning (Grandparent or relative scam) Criminals clone a family member's voice using short audio clips found online. Victims receive a panicked call asking for immediate financial help. Deepfake video calls Scammers create realistic video calls impersonating business leaders, coworkers, or family members to authorize financial transfers or request sensitive information. AI-powered phishing Generative AI produces professional-looking emails and text messages in multiple languages that bypass spam filters and appear to come from trusted organizations. Social media impersonation Fraudsters duplicate social media profiles and use AI chat tools to hold convincing conversations with friends or followers, often promoting fake investment or cryptocurrency schemes. Chatbot impersonation Fake customer service bots trick victims into providing login credentials, account numbers, or financial details. How to Protect Yourself Create a secret code: Establish a family or workplace “safe word” to confirm identities during emergency calls. Verify the source: If you receive a frantic message or call, hang up and contact the person directly using a known phone number. Slow down: Scammers rely on urgency and panic to pressure victims into quick decisions. Take time to verify before sending money or sharing information. Avoid clicking links: Instead, visit official websites directly. Inspect details carefully: Look for subtle clues such as unnatural pauses in voices, unusual requests, or strange phrasing. Report suspicious activity: If you believe you’ve been targeted, report it to the Federal Trade Commission or the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. AI scams are evolving rapidly and are designed to bypass traditional warning signs by making fake interactions appear incredibly authentic. In today’s digital world, seeing and hearing are no longer proof that something is real. Awareness, skepticism, and taking a moment to verify unexpected requests can be the difference between staying safe and becoming the next victim of AI-powered fraud.

We Are Roseville - Feb. 24, 2026
Deputy City Manager Megan MacPherson Scheid announces retirement after distinguished public service careerDeputy City Manager Megan MacPherson Scheid has announced her intent to retire in May after nearly two decades of service to the City of Roseville. Her 34-year career began serving as a U.S. Navy Officer, followed by work in the private sector and for the County of Sacramento before joining Roseville in 2007. In Roseville, she led community engagement for the City’s 2009 Centennial, guided communications through the Great Recession, and designed the two year Engage Roseville initiative during a period of critical budget decisions. Beyond communications and policy, Scheid became a catalyst for organizational culture and co-founded the City’s InvestHealth Roseville partnership in 2015, which continues to deliver grant funded community impact work. She has worked closely with every Mayor, City Council, and City Manager since 2007 on major citywide initiatives, including nearly two decades of strategic-planning workshops and State of the City events. “Throughout her tenure, Megan’s been a trusted advisor to City leadership, a champion for transparency and belonging, and a driving force behind initiatives that strengthened both community trust and organizational culture,” said City Manager Dominick Casey. “She brings strategic thinking, empathy, and courage to her work, and her influence will be felt here for years to come.” Read more Roseville ready to welcome back the Big Boy No. 4014The world’s largest steam locomotive, Big Boy No. 4014, is rolling back into Roseville on April 10-11 as part of Union Pacific’s first-ever "coast-to-coast" steam tour.

That “tax refund” text or email is likely a scam
That “tax refund” text or email is likely a scam By: The Roseville Police Department Tax season for 2026 officially began on January 26, when the IRS started processing 2025 tax returns. Unfortunately, that also marked the start of peak tax scam season. If you’re expecting a refund, scammers may try to steal it before you ever see it. Be cautious of any unexpected text or email about a “tax refund,” especially messages urging you to click a link. These messages are often scams designed to trick you into sharing personal information and handing over your refund. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), these scams typically appear as messages that look like they’re from the IRS or a state tax agency, claiming your refund has been “processed” or “approved.” That’s a red flag; this is not how legitimate tax agencies communicate. The message may ask you to “verify your identity” or “claim your money” by clicking a link and entering sensitive details such as your Social Security number or bank account information. This is phishing. If you respond, scammers can steal your refund or use your information to commit identity theft. How to avoid tax refund scams (FTC tips) Know how the IRS really communicates. The IRS and state tax agencies will not contact you by text, email, or social media to request personal information. Only scammers do that. Don’t click links or reply. Never use a link from a message to check your refund status. Instead, go directly to USA.gov to learn how to verify whether you’re receiving a federal or state tax refund. Report and delete the message. Use your phone’s “report junk” feature, forward scam texts to 7726 (SPAM), and mark scam emails as spam or junk. After reporting, delete the message. To learn how to protect yourself from identity theft before it happens, visit IdentityTheft.gov/steps. If you spot a scam, report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
