Scenario 1 of 8

score 0

Your daughter calls from an unknown number, crying. She says she's been arrested and a lawyer needs $2,000 in Bitcoin from an ATM within the hour. The voice is unmistakably hers.

The Playbook

Five scam families cover nearly all AI-era fraud. Production quality is no longer a signal — the economics and the ask are. Learn the tell; the counter is always a process.

Voice clones
The tell

A loved one's voice + panic + an irreversible payment channel.

The counter

Family code word. Verify on the number you already have. Real emergencies survive a 60-second callback.

Deepfake video
The tell

Authority on camera demanding an urgent, unusual transfer.

The counter

Out-of-band verification you initiate — policy, not vibes. Production quality proves nothing anymore.

Pig butchering
The tell

A patient stranger, a private platform, returns that print daily.

The counter

The early withdrawal that 'proves' it is the hook. Never invest through a relationship that found you.

Fake support & drainers
The tell

Support that contacts you first; any request touching your seed or a signature you don't understand.

The counter

Navigate only from your own bookmarks. Seed = never. Read every signature request on the hardware screen.

Poisoned inputs
The tell

Look-alike addresses in your history; recruiter code on your machine; links in emails.

The counter

Saved contacts + device-screen verification. Untrusted code only in disposable VMs. Type URLs yourself.
