AI Scams on the Rise: Protect Your Family with Secret Passphrases!
Creating a good family password is like picking an outfit for a costume party—unique, memorable, and not something you’d post on Instagram. Avoid using personal info, like your pet’s name, that scammers could find. Remember, a password like “cheese puffs” won’t save you calories, but it might save you from a scammer!
Hot Take:
If scammers put as much effort into legitimate careers as they do voice-cloning your grandma, we’d have a new tech boom! But alas, here we are. With AI scams evolving faster than a teenager’s fashion choices, families are now being urged to create secret passphrases. Because nothing says “I love you” like whispering “cheese puffs” during a potential ransom call!
Key Points:
- Fraudsters use AI for voice cloning, impersonating family members and causing panic.
- The FBI and banks recommend creating family passphrases to verify identities.
- Passphrases should be unique and not easily found online.
- Being “Politely Paranoid” can help verify identities during suspicious calls.
- Reporting scams is crucial, despite feelings of shame or fault.
