Free tool·The family safe word·nothing you type leaves your browser

A voice that sounds like your kid is no longer proof it’s your kid.

Voice cloning needs a few seconds of audio, and caller ID can be faked. The defence is older than the technology: a word only your family knows, and one rule — hang up and call back on a number you already have. Make the card, print it or paste it into the group chat, and agree on it before anyone needs it.

Family or group name Your safe word

Pick something you would never post online: not a pet, a street or a birthday. Two unrelated words work well.

Who shares it (optional)

Any urgent call about money, a code, an accident or an arrest: hang up and call the person back on the number you already have for them. Ask for the safe word. A real family member knows it. Never say it first, and never say it to someone who asks you to. Never read out a one-time code, PIN, password or Social Security number to anyone who called or texted you, including “your bank”. No bank, police force, court or government agency asks for payment in gift cards, crypto or a wire transfer. Anyone who does is a scammer. Toll, parcel, tax or “account locked” texts: don’t tap the link. Open the official app or type the address yourself. If something still feels wrong, call a second family member before doing anything. Scammers need you alone and in a hurry.

If a call doesn’t feel right, it isn’t. Hang up. Call back.

Our safe word— choose a word —

Got a suspicious call, text or email right now?

Stop. Don’t pay, don’t read out a code, don’t tap the link. Urgency is the tell.
Call back. Use a number from the back of your card, your statement or the official website, never the one in the message.
Verify the person. Ask for the safe word, or ask something only they would know and a clone could not have learned from the internet.
If money moved, call your bank immediately; the first hours matter most. Then report it: in the US at reportfraud.ftc.gov and, for online crime, ic3.gov (the FBI); elsewhere, your national fraud line.
Tell the family. A scammer who has your relative’s voice will try the others next.

Why this exists

The index behind this site records AI voice-clone and deepfake fraud as it happens, alongside everything else AI has done to real people. The protocol above is the standard advice of consumer-protection agencies, written to fit on one card. It is not legal or financial advice, and nothing you type here is stored or sent anywhere.
