OMYGAWD!!!!  Stop talking on the phone,  someone might steal your voice.

"If a call sounds like your boss (asking for bank account numbers) or your family member (begging for help in an emergency), you’re more likely to act. That’s why scammers use voice cloning to make their requests for money or information more believable. And the FTC is fighting back."

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), consumers lost nearly $3 billion from impersonation scams in 2023. Shackelford said artificial intelligence has made it easier and more convincing than ever before.

Need to go back to only face to face,  cash in hand transactions.  Maybe,  MAYBE,  hand written letters and documents.

I got a call from someone who said they had been in an accident and had a broken nose. Before they could ask for money I told them to get it fixed, and I hung up!

You're not a conspiracy theorist, you're just very good at reading society's tea leaves.
