Telephone

TIME OF OCCURRENCE:
Friday, November 1, 2019 (3:20 pm)

There have been reports of “vishing” – voice/voicemail phishing. Vishers use the telephone to solicit financial or personal information. In this case, the voicemails are requesting personal information, specifically Social Insurance Numbers.

As a precaution, avoid responding to voicemails:

  • That are robo-calls.
  • Are from businesses that you’re not expecting to contact you. Some will use the tactic of pretending a co-worker has given your contact information.
  • Ask you to provide your user name and passwords via a phone call. Be wary of what you provide over the phone.
