How to protect yourself against these new risks? First, always confirm the caller’s identity before answering or providing information. Don’t participate in surveys or automated recordings that can capture your voice. In addition, periodically review your bank movements and report any irregularities to your financial institution. Block suspicious numbers and report them to authorities or service providers to help curb these practices. Finally, never give out personal data, passwords, or document numbers over the phone; If you are pressured, it is better to cut off communication.
We live in a world where technology advances at a dizzying pace, and our voice, which seemed only a means of communication, now becomes a vulnerable asset. The key to avoiding being a victim of these frauds is to act cautiously, respond prudently and maintain a healthy distrust of unexpected calls. Remember that sometimes, saying nothing is the best defense against those who seek to take advantage just by hearing a word.
