🚨 Your "kid" just called ... but it's a robot
AI scammers are cloning voices. Here's how to stop them before your wallet cries.
đź‘‹ Hey Friend,
AI is stealing voices now.
Yes, even your kid’s or spouse’s. With just a few seconds of audio, scammers can clone a loved one’s voice, fake an emergency, and pressure you into sending money.
Sounds like a bad Netflix plot, right? Except it’s real.

They grab a voice sample (social media, voicemail, YouTube).
Clone it with AI (creepy but easy).
Call you in “panic mode.”
Demand money fast.
âś… The Fix: Pause. Verify. Protect.
Pause before reacting.
Verify with a call back or “family password.”
Protect your wallet - never wire money on impulse.
đź’ˇ Daily Tip
Pick a silly family password today.
Something fun like pickleball penguin or taco tornado. If the call feels off, ask for it. No password? No cash.
