“Grandparent” / family-emergency scam (now with AI voice)
Impersonating a relative in trouble
A caller sounds like a grandchild or relative in an emergency — arrested, in an accident abroad — and needs money urgently by gift cards or wire. AI voice cloning now makes the voice sound real.
🚩 Red flags
Pressure to act instantly and keep it secret. Payment by gift cards, crypto, or wire. Set a family “safe word” to verify real emergencies.
