Scam messages written by AI: how do I spot them when the spelling is perfect?

Answered in a minute, with the warning signs and what to do right now.

Short answer

Look at what it asks you to do

AI helps scammers write a message for each person, with the right boss's name, the right project and no typos. Stop checking the wording and ask three questions: does it want money, an OTP or a password; does it rush you; does it pull you to a link, a chat group or a new phone number? One yes means stop and verify through a channel you already know.

What is spear-phishing?

A scam message written for one specific person, like spearing a single fish. AI reads profiles and work posts, then writes in your colleague's style.

Is a message from a familiar account safe?

Not necessarily. The account may have been taken over. If it asks for money or a code, call the person to check.

I already tapped the link. What now?

Don't enter anything else. If you typed a password or OTP, change it now and call your bank; if you installed an app, go offline and remove it.
