Cyber Security Awareness Poster
Vishing scams are rampant! With the use of VoIP technology they are sneakier than ever. VoIP tech can create spoof phone numbers that are nearly impossible to detect. (Sometimes they even make it look like you’re calling yourself!) Don’t worry. Protecting yourself is an option here.
First and foremost, be aware of the existing and new vishing scams out there, and scams in general! Some other options you can implement include:
- Screen phone calls from numbers you are unfamiliar.
- Block numbers after you know they are suspicious.
- Call your phone company (most companies now have a spam protector add on).
- Never give out personal information over the phone to someone you don’t 100% trust.
- Do your research on any company calling.
You can also just hang up the phone, don’t respond to the prompts given, and also do not press any buttons.
