There’s a scam known as the “yes” trap. It works like this:
They call you and ask a simple question.
You answer “yes.”
They record that audio.
They use it to fabricate a supposed acceptance of a contract, a purchase, or an authorization.
Then, that recording is presented as “proof” that you agreed to something, even though it never happened.
That’s why it’s not a good idea to answer with direct affirmations when you don’t know who’s calling.
Even saying “hello” can trigger a scam.
Many robocalls are simply trying to confirm that there’s a real person on the other end.
When you say “hello,” the system knows your number is active and that your voice can be recorded.
Furthermore, that brief greeting gives them enough material to start basic voice cloning.
A safer strategy is:
Wait for the other person to speak first.
Ask them to identify themselves.
Ask who they are looking for.
This way, you avoid giving away your voice without knowing who you’re talking to.
How artificial intelligence makes these scams so believable: Modern voice cloning programs use algorithms that:
Analyze speech patterns.
Reproduce emotions.
Adjust accent and speed.
In just a few minutes, they can generate audio that sounds like a real person, even mimicking fear, urgency, or calmness.
That’s why many victims believe they are talking to a family member, a bank, or a legitimate company.
