Monday Magic - Another Cyber Security Tip
Welcome back to Monday Magic. Today I’m offering some more Cyber Security Tips.
Previously, I posted CYBER SECURITY TIP a couple of weeks ago if you want to check it out which I advise you to do because you need to take the action it explains.
If you receive a phone call from an unknown number, do 1 of 2 things.
1. Answer but saying nothing, and make sure there is no noise in the room, just total silence. The caller may say, “Hello, is anyone there?” Do NOT answer. Do not say, “Yes.”
After a few attempts, scammers who repeatedly call your number—probably purchased from the dark web on a list of 1000′s from data breaches—will assume your number is out of service or not assigned. They’ll remove it from their list and move on to another potential victim.
2. Again, say nothing. Follow the silence scenario above because if you DO say something and the call is from scammers, they will record anything you say.
If you follow the silence routine, you’ll notice that most of these scammers ask, “Can you hear me?” They want you to say, “Yes, I can hear you.” Don’t be a victim. Be silent.
SCARIER SCENARIO
If you say anything—like telling them where to go or cursing or any cutting remarks—they will be recording everything you say. They end up with a recording of your voice which they can then sell to anyone or any group they want, and they’ll get paid for it. Those who purchase voice recordings will then use AI to market your voice, possibly to duplicate your voice and get paid for selling it.
EVEN SCARIER SCENARIO
They may use your voice in an extortion scheme. Example? Your son receives a phone call, “Honey, don’t panic, but I’ve been kidnapped. You’ve got to access our bank account and send $50,000 to this routing number. Please, if you don’t, they will kill me.”
The crooks have a 50-50 chance that one of your kids may have access to your bank account. (Please read my previous post with a Cyber Security Tip.
How on earth do people think up these horrible things to victimize people? Don’t answer any phone call if you don’t recognize the number. If it’s your doctor or something equally important, they will leave a message. If you choose to answer, be silent in a silent room, and listen. After a few weeks, you may notice these calls decrease enormously.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Don’t be a victim. Be smart. Be safe. Contact the FBI if you receive any kind of extortion attempt.
