Vishing

This has been another popular topic on this blog and my website

The instance that I was exposed to involved a company called Fastheal.net - there are many other instances of this out there on the Internet that not only cover the sales of software to "fix" your broken computer but general scams that attempt to determine your personal banking details.

This report, also posted on this blog, has garnered the most feedback and comments. It appears that others have been approached by cold callers who claimed that they were calling from Microsoft.

While not attempting to be a consumer advocate I think that it is a valuable service for bloggers such as myself to post so that others can benefit from our experiences. If others are also seeing the same thing it is often useful to see how others have dealt with it.
