This Call Is Not Random.

Scams now use AI voices, spoofed numbers, and pressure — built to beat logic.

Fast rule: If it creates panic + asks for a “quick” action — pause. That’s the attack.

  • Caller ID can be faked
  • AI voices can mimic urgency
  • Hanging up is a defense move

How It Escalates

Most scams follow the same 5-step funnel. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

1

Hook

Urgency: “fraud”, “package”, “account locked”.

2

Pressure

They keep you talking so you don’t verify.

3

Isolation

“Don’t tell anyone. Stay on the line.”

4

Action

Codes, gift cards, wire, crypto, remote access.

5

Lock-in

They push repeat payments or new accounts.

AI Voice Scams

They don’t need hours of audio. Small clips can be enough to create panic.

Where they get audio
Voicemail greetings, TikTok/IG videos, stories, old clips.
How it hits
“It’s me… I need help.” + urgency + secrecy.
What they demand
Gift cards, wires, crypto, “verification” codes.

Instant family defense: Ask for your safe word. If they can’t say it — hang up.

What a “fake emergency” script sounds like

“Mom… please don’t tell anyone. I can’t talk long. I need you to send money now.”

Notice the pattern: secrecy + speed + isolation. The goal is to stop you from verifying.

What They Say vs What They Mean

Screenshot-worthy translations.

What they say

“We detected fraud — verify your identity right now.”
“Stay on the line. Don’t call anyone else.”

“Read me the code we texted you.”
“This must be done immediately.”

What they mean

“I need you to panic so you don’t verify.”
“If you hang up, I lose control.”

“That code is the key to your account.”
“Speed is my weapon.”

Script Breaker

These questions kill scam momentum. Use one. Then hang up.

“What’s my full name on the account?”

If they hesitate or dodge, it’s not your bank.

“Give me your case ID. I’ll call back.”

Real support expects callbacks. Scammers hate them.

“I’m not reading any codes.”

If they argue, you found the scam.

Family Mode

Built for parents and grandparents. Share this section.

Safe Word Rule

Pick a phrase only your family knows. If a call claims an emergency, ask for it. No safe word = hang up and call back using a saved number.

The One Sentence

“I don’t do money or codes on calls. I will call the official number.” Say it once. Then end the call.

Gift Card = Scam

Any caller asking for gift cards, crypto, or wire transfers is not legitimate. Real companies don’t do payment like that.

Caller ID Lies

The number can look local or match your bank. It can still be fake. Verification only happens by you calling back.

Do This Today

These take minutes and block most scam paths.

  • Never share one-time codes (texts that say “Do not share”).
  • Set a family safe word for “I’m in trouble” calls.
  • Turn on 2-step verification for email + banking.
  • Silence unknown callers (iPhone/Android setting).
  • Set a carrier PIN + port-out lock (SIM swap defense).
  • Check app permissions: remove mic access where it doesn’t make sense.
