Vishing is a form of scam that uses the telephone to trick people into revealing personal information. It is effective due to human nature, urgency created by scammers, and spoofing technology. To prevent vishing attacks, never offer personal information over the phone, stay calm and verify, use technology to filter out threats, and educate others about these scams. If you fall victim, inform relevant authorities, change passwords, and monitor your accounts.
