AI technology is currently being ruthlessly leveraged by fraud gangs, as evidenced by the rise of software such as 'Haotian AI.' This tool is capable of executing real-time face-swapping across various platforms, mimicking individuals with such high realism that it can even deceive advanced deepfake detection models and evade facial recognition systems. The software comes with an annual subscription fee of $1,998, with an additional charge of $498 for custom facial features. Remarkably, it has already been acquired by nearly 2,000 users. Within the Southeast Asian gray market, there exist over 10 suppliers offering similar products.

Moreover, more sophisticated models have the capability to generate AI-driven characters, enabling real-time interactions without the need for actual human involvement. Fraud gangs are also capitalizing on tools like 'Kongtian Intelligent Customer Expansion' and '007TG' to facilitate AI-assisted persona creation, multi-account management, and mass customer acquisition. They even employ tools such as Cloud007 and SCRM Champion to oversee their fraudulent operations and analyze the emotional responses of their victims. The entire fraudulent process has now been AI-ized, rendering scams increasingly convincing and difficult to detect.
