See How They Steal Your Voice: Three Words You Should Never Say On The Phone To Avoid Scams

Capture enough audio to begin basic voice cloning

A Safer Way to Answer the Phone

Instead of speaking immediately:

Wait for the caller to speak first
Ask them to identify themselves
Ask who they are trying to reach

This prevents you from giving away your voice before knowing who’s on the other end.
Why AI Makes These Scams So Convincing

Modern voice-cloning tools can:

Analyze speech patterns
Reproduce emotion
Adjust speed and accent
Mimic fear, urgency, or calmness

In minutes, they can generate audio that sounds like a real person—even a loved one.

That’s why victims are often convinced they’re speaking to:

A family member
A bank representative
A legitimate company

How to Protect Your Voice

Simple habits make a big difference:

Don’t say “yes,” “confirm,” or “accept” to unknown callers
Ask callers to identify themselves first
Avoid surveys and robocalls
Hang up if something feels off
Regularly review bank statements
Block and report suspicious numbers
If someone claims to be family, hang up and call them back yourself
