She hears “your” voice. She sees “your” number. You’re crying, hurt, and need money for treatment.
But it’s not really you.
It’s an AI-generated scam — and your aging parents are the prime targets.
These new scams use your voice, spoofed phone numbers, and emotionally charged lies to get your parents to send money fast — often before they even think to verify the details.
The scariest part? Â
Most seniors have no idea this technology even exists.
That’s why it’s critical for families to get ahead of this now:
✅ Create a family passphrase system. Make it silly, fun, and repeat it during regular conversations — not over the phone. Train your parents to require it before taking action during any “emergency” call.
✅ In-home caregivers can be the first line of defense. Just like they’ve spotted telemarketing calls for years, they can now be trained to recognize emotional manipulation, urgency scams, and AI fraud tactics.
✅ Assume it’s fake until confirmed. Caregivers or family should always call back using a known, trusted number before transferring money or giving out information.
Tech is advancing fast — faster than our seniors can keep up. But by staying informed and working as a team, we can protect them from fraudsters who prey on love and fear.
