Vishing Attack

A vishing attack is when a scammer calls you to attempt to gather personal information from you.

Scammers usually pretend to be a reputable business or organization such as Microsoft, the IRS, or even your bank.

They use fear-tactics to get you to reveal important account data.This allows them to directly or indirectly access your important accounts.

Vishing attacks are tricky. Attackers can easily impersonate people that you trust.
