Check the call before you send money.

Hang up and tell Alexa what happened. It names the warning signs and checks with your real family first.

What it sounds like on the kitchen counter

Short sentences, one question at a time, and nothing happens without a yes.

The demo runs a simulated Echo Show in your browser, with a made up family. Speak or type.

Ruth
Alexa, my grandson just called. He's in jail and needs two thousand dollars in gift cards for bail.
Alexa
I'm glad you asked me first. The emergency story and the gift cards are common signs of a scam. Should I text Michael to check, and tell Sarah you got this call?
Ruth
Yes.
Alexa
Done. I'll tell you when Michael answers.
Michael's phone
Michael opens the link in the text and taps: It wasn't me.
Alexa
Michael says he did not call you, so you did the right thing by checking. Please don't send any money, and hang up if they call back. Would you like help reporting this call?

Built into the tools Alexa uses, and checked again on every sentence before it is spoken.
