I Made Something Free for You...
Oct 20, 2026This is crazy, but scammers can now fake a family member's voice with just a few seconds of audio. A Facebook video. A voicemail greeting. That's all it takes.
Here's the fix: pick a family safe word
If someone calls in a panic asking for money and doesn't know the word, hang up and call them back on the number you already have. Done.
Don't Get Fooled by AI (free email course)
That's Day 1 of a free email course I just made, called Don't Get Fooled by AI.
5 days. 5 minutes a day. How to spot fake voices, fake photos, AI that makes stuff up... and how to finally use it yourself without feeling dumb.
Plus a free "Is This Real?" checklist for the fridge.
And if you know someone who needs this (we all do), pass this along.
Chat soon...

P.S. Seriously, go pick your family safe word today. It takes 2 minutes and it beats the whole scam.
