That voice can be fake

How the AI voice-clone "grandchild in trouble" call works, and the 3 steps that reduce the risk.

Read this lesson as text
  1. A call from an unknown number: "Grandma, it's me. I'm in trouble. Please send money."
  2. This voice can be fake. AI can copy a voice from a short video clip.
  3. What to do: 1. Hang up. 2. Call them back on a number you already know. 3. Ask for your family code word.

Why scams are getting harder to spot

Criminals now use AI to write perfect-sounding emails, create fake websites in minutes and even copy the voice of someone you love from a short video clip. The old advice, "look for spelling mistakes," doesn't work anymore.

What still works is watching the pressure, not the polish. Real banks, real government agencies and real grandchildren don't demand gift cards, secrecy or a decision in the next ten minutes. When you feel rushed, that's your signal to slow down.
