It sounds like your son. It might be AI.
Voice cloning scams are getting harder to catch by ear alone. Three signs usually give them away:
1. A sudden emergency, money needed right now
2. A call from a new or unknown number
3. โDonโt tell anyone, not even mom or dadโ
That urgency and secrecy is the tell, not the voice.
Hang up. Call back on the number you already have saved for them. If they pick up, you know. If they do not, you have your answer too.
Call back to verify. Every time.
