Someone called as if they were the director, with her voice

Voice cloning has become cheap. An AI generator needs 30 seconds of audio. CEO fraud by phone in 2026 is a real category, no longer future talk.

Try this first

1. 1First reaction: do nothing that costs money or grants access. Hang up or say 'I will call back'.
2. 2Call back on the phone number you have in your own contacts, not the number they called from. Caller-ID name shows, but it can be spoofed.
3. 3Ask a control question only the real person can answer. Not 'when is your birthday' (on LinkedIn), instead 'what did we eat at last week's team lunch'.
4. 4On suspicion of fraud: notify colleagues via Teams or mail (from a safe channel). Do not wait with 'maybe it was real', better safe afterwards than halfway-transferred.
5. 5Write the scenario for your team: 'if someone calls saying I need to transfer money, do this'. Four lines on an internal wiki.
