Scammers are now spoofing phone numbers and staying silent when you answer. The moment you speak, AI needs only 5 seconds of your voice to generate a fake version, which can then be used to impersonate you and trick your family into sending money.
How to protect？
3-Step Rule: Hang · Check · Verify
–Hang: End any silent call immediately
-Check: Call back using the official number
-Verify: Confirm identity via video call or a preset code
Stay alert and share this with colleagues and family — the more people know, the harder it is for scams to succeed.
