The one phone habit that beats an AI scam call
Here's a quick midweek tip that takes ten seconds to learn and could save someone you love a lot of money.
Scammers can now copy a real person's voice. They use it to call and say a family member is in trouble and needs money right now. It can sound exactly like your grandson or your daughter.
The good news is that you don't need to understand any of the tech to beat it. There's just one habit. Hang up and call back.
If a call ever feels scary or rushed, hang up. Then call that person back yourself, on a number you already have (in your contacts, or on the back of your card). A scammer can fake a voice. They cannot answer a phone that you are calling.
That's the whole thing. Hang up, and call back on a number you trust.
Have you ever gotten a call like this, or know someone who has? Tell me about it in the comments. I read every one.
