A literacy chapter on **voice cloning risks**: impersonation scams, consent, and verification habits. No cloning how-to.
What it is
A literacy chapter on voice cloning risks: impersonation scams, consent, and verification habits. No cloning how-to.
Visual Spec & Architecture Diagram
Literacy-only anti-fraud diagram (NOT a how-to): left 'Trusted voice call' with padlock; right 'Suspicious clone call' with warning triangle; center checklist for listeners: 'callback known number', 'out-of-band verify', 'never send codes by voice', 'org verification policy'. Big banner: 'Awareness, not a cloning tutorial'.
Why it matters
Families and finance teams are targeted with “emergency” cloned-voice calls.
How it works (plain)
Assume voice alone is forgeable. Use shared family code words, call-back on known numbers, and bank verification channels. Builders: require consent, watermarking where available, and abuse reporting.
