Let’s talk about something super important – voice cloning. 🗣️ It’s the tech that lets computers replicate someone’s voice almost perfectly. 🤖 There are websites and apps out there that can do this with just a few samples of your voice. 😮
Such as:
💠ElevenLabs
💠Murf.AI

But how safe is it? 📞 Is voice verification over the phone still reliable? 🤷♀️ Unfortunately, scammers are getting smarter and using voice cloning to trick people into thinking they’re talking to someone they trust. 🚨
Here’s what you can do to stay safe:
🛡️ Set up a safe word:
Use a unique word or phrase for verification when you get a call from someone you know.
📁 Be cautious with voice samples:
Avoid sharing voice recordings online or through unsecured channels. Should the need arise and it is unavoidable, ensure that no voice-based agreements or verifications are allowed with entities such as banks or government websites.
📲 Verify suspicious calls:
If something feels off, hang up and call back using a known number.
📚 Educate others:
Spread the word to friends and family about the risks of voice cloning and how to stay safe.
Stay safe and vigilant! 🛡️✨
