Re:Scam — An AI designed to waste scammers time
How one company is fighting back against online scammers
Netsafe is a New Zealand non-profit online safety organization. And they just announced the release of Re:scam.
$12 billion is lost globally to phishing scams every year. It’s time we fought back.
Re:scam uses Artificial Intelligence to reply to scam emails. The idea is for the AI to ask questions and interact with scammers for as long as possible. This will waste scammers times and prevent them from interacting with real victims.
To participate, simply forward your spam to me@rescam.org — they’ll even send you a summary of the scammers interactions when the conversation is over.
