This week, we’re tackling one of the scariest AI scams happening right now: voice cloning. Criminals are using AI to copy someone’s voice from just a few seconds of audio, a TikTok, a voicemail, a birthday video, and then calling their family pretending to be them. The calls sound real. The panic is real. And families across the country are losing money to it.
But there’s a dead-simple way to protect your family. One step. We break it all down.
How AI voice cloning works: and why it only needs about 3 seconds of audio Where scammers find your voice: social media posts, voicemails, school event videosHow the scam plays out: fake emergency calls to parents and grandparentsThe family code word: a simple, private word or phrase that stops the scam coldWhat else you can do: calling back on saved numbers, being thoughtful about what you postWhy you should tell your grandparents: they’re the #1 targetThe One Step: Set Up a Family Code Word
Pick a secret word or phrase that only your family knows. Never post it, never text it, never put it in a video. If anyone ever gets a scary call from someone claiming to be a family member, the first thing you do is ask: What’s the code word?
Set it up tonight at dinner. It takes two minutes. Your family will be more protected today than it was yesterday.
