Scammers employed an artificial intelligence-generated voice in an attempt to trick a Rockville resident into believing a family member had been kidnapped, Rockville City police allege. The fake relative called the victim in the 300 block of Hungerford Drive several times on May 21, 2026. A scammer, using the AI-generated voice of the family member, stated she had been kidnapped and directed the victim to pay an unspecified ransom amount. Police did not specify if the ruse was successful, or if any money changed hands.
