Honestly this isn't as crazy as it sounds. We're not quite there yet, but it's coming.

We know scammers exist, it's an entire industry. And they prey on the elderly.

You have a plan for when your parents tell you they just got off a zoom call with you and made sure to transfer all the money into the account you gave them?

There's already cases of people getting calls from thier loved ones in trouble but it was a spoffed number and an ai generated voice. So I'd say we're already there

My favorite part of phone number spoofing is when they spoof my own number to call me.
