What is Voice Phishing?
Voice phishing is the use of bogus phone numbers to trick people into revealing confidential information. Phishing involved sending out emails that include links to bogus websites, where victims are asked to enter account details or other confidential information. Voice phishing also known as vishing, v-phishing or phone phishing asks the victims to call a phone number or “verify” their details. When the users call, an automated message asks for their card number. Criminals can then misuse the number for their own gain.
