1 · Think first

AI scams always follow the same steps. Copy a voice or face → pretend to be someone you know → rush you → ask for money or information.

The FBI in the US has put out an official warning that AI-made voices, photos and videos are being used in scams. Even a short voice clip is enough to copy someone pretty closely.

Stopping it is almost boringly simple. Hang up, then call back yourself on the number you already knew. If it really is your family, calling back changes nothing.

The more urgent it feels, the more a pause is the fastest way through — something truly urgent will still be urgent 5 minutes later.
