# Voice & scams – Fake AI

> Cloned voices, CEO fraud, fake support calls and how to verify a caller.

- [AI Voice Cloning Scam: How It Works and How to Stop It](https://fake-ai.com/voice-and-scams/ai-voice-cloning-scam/): In an AI voice cloning scam, criminals copy a relative's voice from short clips posted online and call with an urgent story, usually an accident, arrest or kidnapping, to get money fast. The defence is simple: hang up, call the person back on a number you already have, and agree a family safe word in advance.
- [Family Safe Word: How to Set One Up Against AI Scams](https://fake-ai.com/voice-and-scams/family-safe-word/): A family safe word is a word or phrase agreed in person that any relative must give before you act on an urgent call for money or help. Pick something that appears nowhere online, share it face to face, ask for it without hinting at the answer, and change it after it has been used once.
- [Deepfake CEO Fraud: Lessons From Arup and Ferrari](https://fake-ai.com/voice-and-scams/deepfake-ceo-fraud/): Deepfake CEO fraud uses a cloned voice or a fake video of a senior executive to push an employee into an urgent, secret payment. The defence is procedural: every payment request that arrives by call, chat or video is confirmed through a second channel the company controls, and no executive is exempt.
- [How to Detect an AI Voice on a Call or Recording](https://fake-ai.com/voice-and-scams/detect-ai-voice/): Listen for a metallic or flat tone, odd stress on words, missing breaths and a short delay before answers, then test the caller: interrupt, ask something unexpected, or ask for a detail only the real person knows. For recordings, a SynthID check catches audio made with Google's tools. When money is involved, call back instead of judging by ear.
