The word “vishing” is ” a socially engineered technique for stealing information or money from consumers using the telephone network.” It is a combination of  “voice” with “phishing,” which is an online scams that robs people of their personal information.

Let’s be familiar on how this “vhishing” works.
Just like phishing, the attackers use a technique called caller ID spoofing. The call appears to have been made by a legitimate or known phone number. It’s easier to scam p[eople because people usually believe the phone service and caller ID, but spoofing phone numbers can be particularly damaging.Vishing attackers usually have a recorded message that directs users to a toll-free number. Then the caller is asked to punch in a credit card number or other personal information. The worst scenario is  when users are asked to buy a bogus extended warranty for their car, which may cost them anywhere a couple of thousand dollars.
