What Is a Vishing Scam?<\/h4>\n
Vishing (voice phishing) is a scam where fraudsters call pretending to be from banks, government agencies, or tech companies. They use urgency, fear, and trust to manipulate victims into revealing card numbers, PINs, or login credentials\u2014sometimes asking for immediate payments via prepaid cards or wire transfers.<\/div>\n
Unlike phishing (emails) or smishing (texts), vishing exploits human emotion through phone calls. And today\u2019s scammers may even use AI-generated voices to impersonate family or officials.<\/div>\n
