My wife calls me, panicked. The call is from her number, and her voice is unmistakable- that’s my wife. ‘Babe, our son is hurt. He's about to get liquidated. I’m at his laptop but they won’t take my credit card and I need USDC to get him margin. Please send me 3000 USDC as soon as you can, his position is really not doing well.’ Me- ‘Wow, that’s scary. Can you count to one million right now?.’ Her (it) - ‘What? I can definitely count to one million, but it would take a little longer! This is your wife, our son is getting liquidated. Send the USDC now!!’ Me- ‘I’ll call you back. I don’t believe that this is my wife. If it is, I’m sorry, but we discussed this.’ The number? Spoofed. Easy to do and there’s no way to tell if a phone number is being spoofed aside from hanging up and calling back to confirm. The voice? AI generated. Easily done. A few seconds of audio is all it takes to create a realistic audio deepfake.
