I am steadily and methodically informing my grandma that this is the reality now. She’s far from modern technology and I think she doesn’t fully believe it yet to act reasonably under pressure. But mass scamming like this (worldwide, all locales) is only few months away, maybe a year.
My plan is to create a set of code events from our past and to convince her to never trust “me” wrt finances, to always hang up and call my number and even then to leave an “incident” unresolved for at least one day.

- phiy 4y agoI am waiting for someone to connect these technologies. ChatGPT choosing the words for a DeepFake that can search the internet for examples of the voices of loved ones. Maybe then the FTC will start to regulate spam callers
- taejo 4y ago> to always hang up and call my number She needs to be sure to do this before saving "your new" number. I've read reports where even after the adult child has discovered the scam and explained it to their parent, the parent continues to insist to the child that "you told me"... having saved the scammer's number under the child's name, they struggled to accept that the messages their phone said were from the child were from somebody else.
