“If someone’s voice sounds too perfect—
respond with a duck quack.
Trust me.”
AI voice cloning is advancing fast—so fast that scammers can imitate your loved ones with just a few seconds of audio. The buzz is real: calls from your “grandchild” in trouble might actually be from a stranger behind a screen.
So here’s the Sage solution: when you hear a voice that seems unnaturally perfect, interrupt it. Launch into your best duck impression. If they back down or hang up—congratulations. You’ve just fended off a scam with style (and a honk).
Will it deter a legitimate caller? Maybe. But let’s be honest—if they can’t handle a well-timed quack, they weren’t who they claimed to be.
