As is being reported around the world, AI voice scams are getting more and more common. These usually involve a “family member” calling and saying they are in some kind of trouble and need money.

If you receive one of these calls, ask the family member something they would know, but a scammer would not, such as “where did we go on that trip last year?”

Or “what did we do on your last birthday?”

It would probably be best to discuss this with the family before hand, just so if it’s a real call, they are expecting it and don’t get even more flustered.
