Vishing uses an “old school” technique that is hard to detect by normal methods. You can’t use antivirus to block a phone call from a scammer.
Identity theft in the digital age happens even more frequently than it did before the internet. Today, someone doesn’t need to get your physical credit card or go through your trash to gather enough information about you to take out loans in your name.
