Almost every scam, AI or not, has the same secret ingredient. Panic.
Act now. Don’t hang up. Don’t tell anyone. Pay today or else.

Panic is what makes smart, careful people do things they’d never normally do. And AI makes the panic more convincing, with a familiar voice or a message that looks exactly like your bank.
So here’s the simplest defense there is: two minutes.
Two minutes to hang up and call back. Two minutes to ask for the safe word. Two minutes to check the website yourself.

A scam can’t. That’s how you know.
