Kurt "Cyberguy" Knutsson joins "Fox & Friends Weekend" and discusses the creation of a robot in China that can reportedly build cars and do everyday tasks. The FBI warns that scammers are impersonating doctors, police and banks using spoofed numbers, while "smishing" texts impersonating toll agencies and delivery services surge nationwide. In one elaborate scheme, fraudsters posing as hospital staff claim victims' identities are linked to Chinese crime rings, then transfer calls to fake police demanding wire transfers, complete with fake IDs and encrypted app requests. These cons often target previous fraud victims through social media groups, where fake profiles like "Jaime Quin" promise fund recovery to steal more data. With AI and deepfakes making scams harder to spot, here's how to fight back.
