📱 Don’t trust caller ID — it can be spoofed.
Scammers can make it look like they’re calling from a trusted number. Always verify before sharing sensitive info.

I'm reading that with ten seconds of recording of your voice a pubically available AI app can create a clone of your voice.
smh
And a poster on Mastodon has posted a tutorial on a website on how to do this.
smh
It'll take more than ten seconds of sample for AI to be able to clone your phrasing and working vocab over a wide range of contexts.
But scammers won't need a wide range of contexts - urgent, panicked or stressed will be be quite good enough thank you.

CW: Phone scams, rudeness, sex acts
Once again, my explanation to the "fraud centre"(*) pretending to be Amazon that the $1,400 foreign gift card purchase was for oral sex and my corresponding request that the criminal on the other end make good on the deal was not met with a positive response.
Anything I can do to waste these bugger's time and make their day a little more miserable is fair game.
* A perfectly accurate name BTW, just the reverse of what victims expect

The #phishing calls have resumed. They are likely targeting #NovaScotia now .
Just before Christmas they called every 4 minutes for Hours, hoping I'd pick-up when I saw a local number on the CallID. You can't trust #CallerID. I've had my home phone disconnected due to the repetition of these auto dialers.
Be Alert, and warn anyone who might be venerable, like your parents? -
@richmurrills Help your elders by setting up their phones to only ring through if the number is in their contacts list. Add all their doctors and pharmacists to their contacts. Then set up a voicemail that says, “You’ve reached so-and-so. I don’t accept calls from anyone I don’t know. If you are a legitimate caller , please leave a message.”
So far, no scammer has tried to get past that message on my phone. #scams #elders #PhoneScams #Consumer

I used to spend hours talking to my mom. Now, some days I’m so lonely that I will spend an hour talking to a phone scammer. I’ve gotten pretty good at keeping them on the line. The current batch keeps trying to get me to buy a cruise to Mexico, and then I get 3 free trips to Hawaii. Lol. #phonescams #scambaiting

It looks like the "expensive phone ordered at amazon" scammers are using fake Irish numbers (+353) today.
Two so far today - the first ID'ing as +3531598525 hung up after a couple of seconds of silence, but the second claiming to be from +3532867338 had the whole voice message in slightly robotic, hard to pin down accent.
