Phone scammers are getting more and more inventive and try to get personal information or money from people under various pretexts. Here are some tips on how to protect yourself from phone scammers:
1. Do not share personal information: Never share personal information such as bank details or passwords over the phone. Companies never ask for such information out of the blue.
2. Be careful with unknown numbers: If you don't recognize the caller's number, it's good to be careful. You can always check the number from a reliable source or ignore it.
3. Don't trust urgent or threatening messages: Scammers may try to create a sense of urgency or scare you. Real companies never push you to act right away, so always take time to think before making any decisions.
4. Verify the identity of the caller: If someone claims to be from a certain company, you can end the call and call the official customer service of the company yourself to verify the authenticity of the caller.
5. Use phone blocking and detection programs: Many phone services and applications offer opportunities to block suspicious numbers and report known scammers.
If you don't protect yourself from phone scammers, you could lose money or become a victim of identity theft. Fraudsters can misuse your information and cause serious financial problems. So always keep in mind that caution is the best protection against phone scams.
Fake tech support: The scammer calls pretending to be a tech support employee, often from a well-known technology company such as Microsoft. The caller claims that your computer has a virus or other problems and needs remote access to your device to fix them. In this way, the fraudster can gain access to your personal information, such as bank credentials, and cause financial losses.
Fake Police: A scammer calls and introduces himself as a police officer. He claims your bank account is at risk or under criminal investigation and ask for your bank details or PINs to "facilitate investigations". In reality, real police officers will never ask for personal bank details over the phone.
In both cases, it's important not to share personal information and hang up if you feel suspicious.
