A scammer may imitate someone you trust and use that familiarity to ask personal questions. They could try to obtain account details, workplace information or other sensitive data that might be useful in a later scam. Avoid sharing confidential information merely because a caller sounds familiar. If the request is unexpected, verify the person’s identity independently.

AI-generated voices can sound convincing, but that does not make every call genuine. If a caller creates panic, demands secrecy or pressures you to act immediately, pause before responding. A quick verification through a separate, trusted channel can help you avoid a costly mistake.
