Phone Fraud
Phone fraud involves deceptive practices where individuals or groups misuse phone communication to trick people into revealing personal information, making unauthorized payments, or granting access to accounts. This often includes scams like phishing calls, fake prize winnings, or pretending to be legitimate institutions. The goal is to manipulate victims into providing sensitive data, such as passwords or banking details, leading to theft or unauthorized transactions. Recognizing suspicious calls and verifying identities before sharing information are essential for protecting oneself against phone fraud.
