AI voice clone scams: how criminals fake your loved one's voice in real time

A long thread breaks down the voice clone scam: scammers sample a voice from a social media video, voicemail greeting, or podcast, then use AI to clone it — sometimes speaking live during a call. The scam exploits how much you love the people in your life: the voice, the way they say your name, even the little breaks when upset are replicated. The thread also covers the most common scam scripts and why smart people still fall for it.
