AI Voice Cloning Fuels Urgent-Money Voicemail Scams
December 21, 2025, 3:38 AM EST. Criminals exploit AI voice cloning to imitate a loved one's voice in urgent-money voicemails. By stitching together a mere three seconds of real audio, they can produce a convincing recording that asks for a cash transfer, often after an accident or theft. The attackers may not reveal details and can spoof numbers, so it can seem legitimate even if the call comes from your child's number. In tests, both free and paid tools can reproduce a natural-sounding voice, enabling highly personalized spear phishing. To protect yourself: pause and verify, don't rely on caller ID, and contact the person directly using a known number; never transfer funds until you confirm via a separate channel; report suspicious activity. Remember: emotions are the scammers' leverage, not proof of urgency.
