Part 1: The one rule, why you cannot always spot a fake by eye

A phone rings and it is your daughter's voice, crying, asking for money. A photo of a famous person endorsing an investment lands in your feed. A text from your bank reads perfectly, with no spelling mistakes at all. A few years ago, fakes like these were easy to spot. Today, tools that anyone can use can copy a voice from a short clip, make a convincing picture of something that never happened, and write a message with no errors.

This guide is a plain, calm guide to what that means for you and your family. It is written pages only: no app, no software, no videos. You do not need to be technical. Print the checklists.

It is general information, not legal or financial advice. If you have lost money or think you are being scammed, Part 4 tells you what to do first.

The big idea

Here is the most important point in this whole guide.

You cannot reliably tell a good fake from the real thing by looking or listening. So stop trying to judge. Verify instead.

What is in each part

  1. The one rule, why you cannot always spot a fake by eye
  2. Fake voices and urgent calls
  3. Fake photos, videos and messages
  4. If you were fooled, and a family plan
