The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened doors to incredible innovations, but it has also given rise to new forms of cybercrime.

Victims often feel helpless and scared due to the sensitive nature of these scams. However, with the right legal approach and professional guidance, recovery and protection are possible. This is where an experienced cyber crime advocate becomes essential.
