(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Election season is here, and while candidates ask for your support, imposter campaigns look to crash the party.

Every presidential election year, hundreds of millions of dollars are raised from individual donors.


But mixed in with the real campaign messages, scammers use fake ads and emails designed to rob you of your money and personal information.

These deceptive solicitations can look very real, and now with AI, phone calls can sound just like well-known candidates.

Never send money or provide information to any political candidate or party that you cannot verify, and always be careful before participating in suspicious polls and surveys.
