Is it happening right now?
Three moves that beat every AI scam- Hang up or close the chat. Say you will call back. Pressure only works while you stay on the line.
- Call back on a number you already have. The bank card, the saved contact, the official site. Never the number they gave you.
- Ask for the family code word. Clones copy a voice, not a memory. No word, no money.

The one defense that beats everything
Technology will keep improving the fakes. The defense that does not depend on spotting them is verification through a second channel: hang up and call back on a known number, ask for the family code word, show up in person for big money. Every alert we publish ends there, because it is the only advice that survives every new model.
