flag Hurricane Melissa prompts BBB warning on AI-generated charity scams amid rising death toll.

flag As Hurricane Melissa approaches Jamaica, Cuba, and Hispaniola, the BBB of Central Florida warns of rising AI-powered charity scams exploiting the disaster. flag Scammers are using artificial intelligence to generate convincing fake images, videos, and social media content that mimic real relief efforts, making fraudulent donation requests harder to spot. flag While it’s unclear how widespread these AI-driven scams are or if they’re directly tied to the current storm, past disasters show a surge in fraudulent fundraising. flag The BBB urges the public to verify charities before donating, especially when appeals are emotionally charged or appear too perfect, and recommends using trusted platforms like Give.org to confirm legitimacy. flag The storm has already caused at least seven deaths.
