A family code word
Computers can now copy a voice from a short video. A secret word that only your family knows proves it is really them.
How it works
-
Choose a word together
Pick something easy to remember but hard to guess. Not a name, a birthday, or anything you have posted online.
-
Agree it in person or on a normal call
Don’t send it by text or WhatsApp. Don’t write it in your phone.
-
Ask for the word
If anyone calls or sends a voice note asking for money in an emergency, ask: “What is our word?”
-
No word? End the call
Then call them back on the number you already have saved for them. A real family member will understand.
AgbaWise will never ask for your code word. Don’t type it into this site or any other website.
