AI Grandma Takes on Scammers—What Real Estate Agents Can Learn from Daisy

Ever wished scammers would get a taste of their own medicine? Well, they just did—thanks to an AI-powered grandma named Daisy.

O2, a British telecom company, has unleashed an AI that turns the tables on fraudsters, keeping them tied up in meaningless conversations for up to 40 minutes. Instead of just blocking scam calls, Daisy picks up, engages, and wastes scammers’ time with endless small talk about scones, grandkids, and knitting.

And the results? Absolutely brilliant.

How AI Grandma Daisy Works

Scammers prey on people by using manipulative tactics—urgency, fear, and confusion. But Daisy isn’t fooled.

Instead, she:

🔹 Pretends to be an elderly woman who needs time to find her glasses, process information, or understand “all this newfangled technology.”

🔹 Drags conversations into never-ending loops—diverting the scammer with nostalgic stories about the “good old days.”

🔹 Never hands over personal information—instead, she keeps asking about biscuits and whether the scammer prefers tea or coffee.

By the time a scammer realizes they’ve been talking to an AI, they’ve already wasted valuable time that could have been used to target a real victim.

The Scammers Are Getting Frustrated

O2 shared examples of real calls where scammers were completely thrown off by Daisy’s polite but strategically clueless responses.

📞 Scammer: "Your computer has a virus. I need you to download this software now."

👵 Daisy: "Oh dear, I see something that says 'Save As'—does that help, dear?"

📞 Scammer (after 20 minutes): "Your profession is bothering people!"

👵 Daisy: "Oh, I wouldn’t want to bother anyone! I just thought we were having a nice chat!"

Some scammers even pass her number around their call centers, desperate to figure out how to get past her roadblocks—only to fall into the same endless cycle of time-wasting chatter.

Why This Matters in the Fight Against Scammers

Scammers operate at an industrial scale, making millions of calls every day. AI tools like Daisy disrupt that system by cutting into their efficiency.

Every minute they spend talking to Daisy is a minute they’re not tricking a real person.

O2 hasn’t announced plans to roll Daisy out for public use just yet, but this experiment proves one thing: AI is changing the fight against fraud.
