Over the last few weeks, many readers have shared their dreadful experiences on our blog about losing their money to fake bank phone calls. Scroll down to know how you can protect yourself from such scams.
Phishing is defined as any attempt to obtain your personal and financial information. Mostly, phishing is carried out via emails. These emails lure the targeted victim into visiting a fake site and giving away confidential data. Phishing attacks also use fake SMSs (called Smishing) and fake telephone calls (called Vishing).
What we are discussing here is related to vishing, also known as voice phishing. Several instances have occurred wherein people receive phone calls that appear to be from their bank. The caller usually pretends to be a bank representative or someone from the bank’s technical team. In most cases, the caller sounds professional and provides a convincing reason for calling the customer. After having given a false sense of security, the caller then tricks the victim into giving away their personal and confidential data such as:
Credit/debit card number
The card’s CVV number [Card Verification Value – 3 to 4 digit number printed on the flip side of the card]
Expiry date
Secure password
ATM pin
Internet Banking login ID and password and other personal information
With all such crucial information at hand, the fraudster can easily carry out illegal financial transactions using the victim’s name.
