I've heard on other social media of AI voice-alike scams. But I had a learning experience last week, (the learning being not to be so stupid). Got a text from an unknown number "Hi Dad, I broke my phone, lost all my contacts; this is my new number". I assumed my son (my daughter doesn't usually do stuff like break her phone) so I texted back "OK; weren't they backed up?" Got a reply "I thought so, but seems not". At that point I actually deleted my son's old number and added the new, then wondered "Maybe it's my daughter?" so stupidly texted back "are you Adam or Beth?" (I used their real names, not Adam/Beth). Got a text back "Adam". So all seemed very normal, not suspicious. Told my wife who immediately called "Adam" on his old number, and had a perfectly normal chat, no prob with the phone at all. Stupid me.

Anyway, if I ever get something like that again, I'll just call back on the number I have for them.

Also had emails recently saying "We have a delivery for you today - will you be in between 1 and 2pm?" Well... that's too blatantly stupid for even me to fall for! Laugh | :laugh: Laugh | :laugh:

Take care, folks!
