I still have an ace up my sleeve: I don’t pick up the phone unless I know who is calling or am otherwise expecting a call.
Right now I just get the occasional one liner email: “hey Sahara what are you doing tonight?” Who the hell falls for that?
Comment on Lemmings, please give us your info dump.
T156@lemmy.world 1 day agoI wonder if they do. That seems like a lot of effort to go to for the average person for a scammer.
It seems easier to have a generic voice, rely on the fact that phone audio quality isn’t great to bridge the gap, and use a shotgun approach.
Some places do, since there were a few high profile attacks, but they were nearly all targeting organisations by pretending to be the CEO or something.

Once it’s automated it’s the same either way. Probably something even vibe code could pull off.
