The rise of scams has made us increasingly cautious when communicating with unknown numbers — such as avoiding messages from unfamiliar contacts or ignoring suspicious links sent by people claiming to be from official institutions.

But now, there’s a new type of scam that’s just as dangerous: AI voice cloning via phone calls. So when you answer someone's phone, AI can create a clone of the voice you spoke.

Scammers can then use this cloned voice to impersonate you, contact your family or friends, and cause panic. They might even request urgent money transfers, leading to potential losses for your loved ones.

That’s why this method is so dangerous — the person whose voice is cloned is often unaware that their voice and identity have been misused.

What You Can Do to Prevent Voice-Cloning Scams:

• If you get a call from an unknown number, don’t answer it immediately.
• If you must answer, use a voice changer app to disguise your voice.
• Activate privacy features on your phone to block unknown numbers.
• If you accidentally answer and speak, end the call immediately and warn your close contacts to be cautious of unknown callers who might use your voice.
