AI voice cloning scams exploit families by impersonating loved ones to steal money, shifting the responsibility of defense onto victims through codewords and verification steps.

The tactics disagree on what builds credibility: placing ratings right at the buy button, showing authentic slightly imperfect scores, displaying crowd numbers and verified badges, or matching trust signals to each buyer's specific doubt.
