About this episode

Could you tell the difference between your child's real voice and an AI-generated fake? In this episode, Chalene dives into the terrifying rise of voice-cloning phone scams that are targeting families—especially parents. You’ll hear real-life stories from victims who were emotionally hijacked by these sophisticated cons, including one woman who lost $75,000 and another who thought she was talking to her sobbing daughter. This isn't just about fraud—this is about psychological warfare. Chalene breaks down exactly how scammers manipulate even the sharpest minds and the simple steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.

 

What You Will Learn:

  • How scammers are using AI to clone voices and trick you into panic
  • The psychology behind why smart people fall for these scams
  • Real victim stories that will shock you (and make you more alert)
  • What the FBI says to do if you get one of these calls
  • Simple steps to protect your family, money, and peace of mind
  • How to create a "safe word" system that can save you in a crisis
