What to do
Use these steps as a practical starting point.
Look and listen carefully
Notice unusual lip movement, voice timing, lighting, edges or facial details.
Compare reliable sources
See whether trusted organisations or credible reports confirm the same information.
Be careful with urgent requests
A cloned voice or manipulated video may be used to request money, codes or immediate action.
Verify through a known channel
Contact the person directly using a number or account you already trust.
Pause before sharing: Who is the source, what is the evidence, and can it be verified elsewhere?
