Do you have a family code word? (Deepfake Scams)

Question

Does anyone have a special code word that you and only your family members know? A word that you can use to verify a real emergency situation. I've been seeing more examples of people using AI voice cloning tools in money scams. [1]Seems like a pretty effective and low effort strategy or am I missing something?[1] https://nypost.com/2023/04/12/ai-clones-teen-girls-voice-in-1m-kidnapping-scam/

I actually had a family code word back before AI scams in case someone outside of the family were to contact a family member on behalf of another family member. So, yeah seems like that would apply here too!

Yep my family does - but it&rsquo;s been our code word since 2014.
