&lt;p>Phone-call scams increasingly use AI-generated voices, yet most security training still focuses on email. This pilot study trained people to listen for prosody — the rhythm, stress, and intonation cues that give synthetic or manipulative calls away. Training didn&amp;#39;t make listeners sharper at telling real from fake, but it made them meaningfully more cautious about trusting any call, and it raised their awareness of their own vulnerability — an early sign that audio-focused training changes how people decide, not just what they know.&lt;/p>
