SPOT THE DEEPFAKE — RED FLAG CHECKLIST
If a video call or video message shows ANY of these signs, be suspicious:
[FACE] Unnatural blinking — too fast, too slow, or absent
[FACE] Lip sync slightly off — words don't match mouth movements
[FACE] Face edges blur or flicker, especially around hairline and jawline
[SKIN] Unnatural skin texture — too smooth, waxy, or inconsistent lighting on face vs. background
[EARS] Ears look different sizes or shapes, or are missing details
[HANDS] Hands or fingers look deformed, have wrong number of fingers
[AUDIO] Voice sounds robotic, has unnatural pauses, or doesn't match the person's usual tone
[CONTEXT] Person refuses to do something unpredictable (touch nose, show side profile, hold up a specific number of fingers)
[CONTEXT] Call comes with extreme urgency, asking for money or sensitive info
FAMILY CODE-WORD PROTOCOL
With AI-generated voice and video, you can no longer trust a phone call or video call at face value. Set up a family code word — a secret word or phrase known only to your family.
Step 1: Choose a random word your family wouldn't normally say (e.g., "mango umbrella")
Step 2: Share it ONLY in person — never over phone, text, or email
Step 3: Agree that anyone asking for money or urgent action must say the code word first
Step 4: If they can't say the code word — hang up, it's a scam
Step 5: Change the code word every few months
REPORT DEEPFAKE SCAMS
If you've been targeted by a deepfake scam:
