What is inside
- If someone says "It's me, I'm in trouble," do not say a name. Ask: "Who is this?"
- Ask for the code word. A real relative will know it. A scammer will not.
- Do not send money during the call.
- Hang up and call your relative directly on the number you already have.
- Choose a word that is easy to remember but impossible to guess. Avoid birthdays, addresses and names that can be found online.
Why do we need a family code word?
Voices can be copied from short videos posted online, so a word that only your family knows is a simple way to check that a caller is real.
Is it free?
Yes. The PDF has one large card for the fridge and four small cards to cut out for wallets.
