{“type”:”text”,”text”:”This is Steven Chayer with the DisputeVoice Podcast Show. If you’ve ever been burned, scammed, or suspicious that something isn’t right, or perhaps you want to learn more about protecting yourself or a loved one, you’re in the right place.\n\nImagine someone calls your mother at midnight, and it’s your voice—crying, panicked, saying you’re in jail and need bail money. Only it’s not you. It’s a computer that learned to mimic your voice from that happy birthday video you posted last week. Wicked shady, if you ask me.\n\nThese deepfake voice clones are like digital ventriloquist dummies, except the puppet master is a criminal who wants grandma’s retirement fund. They only need three seconds of your voice—that voicemail greeting, that TikTok video, even that work presentation you uploaded—and boom, they’ve got your vocal DNA.\n\nHere’s your protection playbook: First, create a family password. Something ridiculous like \”purple monkey dishwasher.\” If \”you\” call in crisis but can’t say the magic words, it’s faker than a three-dollar bill. Second, if someone calls claiming emergency, hang up and call them back directly. Real emergencies can wait thirty seconds for verification.\n\nAnd here’s the kicker—record yourself saying \”This is not me\” clearly and keep it handy. If your voice gets hijacked, you’ve got proof it’s bogus.\n\nThis is Steven Chayer with the DisputeVoice Podcast Show. Remember, scammers count on shaming their victims to keep them silent.
