Use of artificial intelligence leads to increase in imposter scams in the United States.

The use of artificial intelligence has led to an increase in imposter scams in the United States, with Ohio being one of the most affected states, according to a recent study. BrokerChooser, an online platform that evaluates digital banks, examined imposter scam reports submitted to the Federal Trade Commission in the third quarter of 2025 to determine which states are most affected. In order to steal money or personal information, imposters pose as trusted sources, such as a government official, bank representative, or family member.
