Terms of use for the VoiceScam Forum

These terms apply to the VoiceScam Forum, a section of VoiceScam.com served at voicescam.com/forum/. By reading or posting here you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not post. The forum is aimed at people in the United States, and its references to agencies and rules reflect that.

What the forum is

The forum is a place to ask questions and share experience about AI voice clone scam calls and how to protect family. It is general information. It is not a legal service, a financial service, a security service or a law enforcement body. Nothing here creates a professional relationship with you.

No advice, no guarantees

Answers come from two staff moderators and from members. Staff answers try to follow what agencies such as the FTC, FBI IC3, FCC and CFPB publish, and what banks and carriers tell customers. We can still be wrong, and rules and scams change. Member answers are personal experience and are not checked by us before they appear.

Before you act on anything involving money, an account, a legal choice or your safety, check it with the official source, your bank or a licensed professional. The forum cannot recover money, investigate a scam, stop a payment, or tell for certain that a recording is real or fake. If someone is in danger, call 911.

Crime reports

The forum does not take crime reports and does not pass reports on for you. Report to your bank, the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI at ic3.gov and your local police. See the contact page.

Your account and your posts

You may post with a display name and an email address. You must give an address you control. One person should not run many accounts to get around limits, bans or the rules.

You are responsible for what you post. Follow the guidelines: do not post account numbers, codes, passwords, full names, addresses or full scammer phone numbers. Do not harass, threaten, blame victims, advertise recovery services, or encourage scam baiting.

You keep ownership of what you write. By posting, you give the forum permission to store it, display it, make it searchable, quote short parts of it in search results and feeds, and keep it visible after you leave unless it is removed. Only post what you have the right to share, and do not paste someone else's work or private messages without permission.

Moderation

Moderators may edit, hide, move, lock or remove posts, remove identifying details, limit or pause an account, or ban someone, for breaking the guidelines or to protect people. We try to explain, but we do not have to give a reason. Members can edit their own posts for a limited time after posting. Rate limits and anti spam checks may stop a post that is not abusive, and if so please try again later.

Staff posts carry a staff label. Corrections to staff posts are shown as notes in the thread.

Links and third parties

Posts and answers may link to other sites, including agencies, banks and VoiceScam.com guides. We do not control those sites. The forum does not recommend recovery services, and any member who does is breaking the guidelines. If someone contacts you privately offering to get your money back, treat it as a likely scam.

Availability

The forum may be unavailable, read only or changed at any time. Features may be paused if we are dealing with spam or technical trouble. We do not promise that content will always be kept.

Limits of liability

The forum is offered as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss that results from relying on information in the forum, from member posts, from outside links, or from the forum being unavailable. Nothing here limits rights you cannot waive under law.

Removal and complaints

To ask for a post to be corrected or removed, or to report a problem, email hello@voicescam.com with the web address. Notes on copyright are on the contact page. We may remove content when we have good reason to think it breaks these terms, the law or someone's rights.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when this version was written. Continued use after a change means you accept the new version.

Privacy

How the forum handles information is described on the privacy page.
