Family & emergencies
A familiar voice. An urgent request.
Someone sounds like your child or grandchild, says they are in trouble and asks you to keep it secret. AI can imitate a voice; ordinary impersonation works too.
What they want
Money before you can check the story.
YOUR NEXT MOVE
Check through another route.
End the call. Contact your loved one through a saved number, then another trusted person if needed. An unanswered call does not confirm the emergency.
Already responded?
Stop contact and ask someone you trust for help. If you paid or exposed account details, contact the affected service through its official channel.
