About this episode
Sharon Brightwell thought she was hearing her daughter, April Monroe, in distress on the phone, sobbing, begging for help, and requesting money. But it wasn’t April. It was a scammer using AI to perfectly clone her voice, preying on Sharon’s love and fear to extort a large sum of cash. In this episode, April joins Nicole to share the shocking details of the voice-cloning scam, how her family reacted in real time, and the emotional and financial toll it took on all of them.
