How to spot a fake voice phone scam
You will learn one simple question that catches fake voice calls.
Scammers can now copy a voice using computers. A call may sound just like your grandchild.
They often say there is an emergency and beg for money fast. The rush is the trick.
Slow down. A real loved one will understand if you pause to check.
Hang up and call that person back on their own number. The fake call cannot follow you there.
Try this
- If a call feels urgent and asks for money, pause.
- Ask a question only the real person would know.
- Hang up. Then call them back on their usual number.
- Talk to a trusted friend before sending any money.
