Many you mentioned. Perfectly tailored mass scam being probably the biggest warning. No Indian call centers, but your mothers voice with a convincing story.
Problem is the media putting Terminator style SciFi scenarios into peoples head. If an expert goes on TV to warn about the dangers of AI, they will ask him about murder bots and of course he has to debunk that nonsense, and that is all the audience remembers.

@Daojoan, I agree with you almost completely... Except that my fear is not what this technology can do, but our imaginative and righteous species can do with it.
For me, at this point, humans are the scary link.
