My strategy for defeating AI voice-cloning and targeted scams

Hey everyone, seeing the rise in hyper-targeted scams and AI family-voice cloning has made me completely change how I handle phone calls.To protect myself, I stopped answering unknown numbers entirely. Instead, I route all unrecognized callers through an automated AI screening assistant. This strategy provides three major security layers:Forced Verification: The automated assistant demands that the caller state their identity and purpose before the call ever reaches my ears.Visual Transcripts: I get a real-time text readout of what they are saying, allowing me to easily spot bots or frantic emergency scams without listening to audio.Zero Voice Harvesting: Because I never speak to the caller, fraudsters cannot record my voice snippets to generate future deepfakes or manipulate my family.If you are tired of playing guessing games with unknown numbers, I highly recommend looking into AI call-screening apps or using the built-in live screening features on your smartphone.
