Vishing, short for "voice phishing," is a type of social engineering scam where fraudsters make phone calls pretending to be from legitimate institutions (such as banks, government agencies, or service providers) in order to steal sensitive information like OTPs, passwords, or banking details. Unlike phishing, which relies on emails or links, vishing is verbal and uses psychological tactics to create panic or urgency.
Prevention and legal role:
Vishing scams can be reduced by public awareness—never sharing sensitive information over calls and verifying caller identity independently. Victims can pursue legal action under Section 420 IPC. Legal counsel is crucial in guiding clients through complaints to cyber cells, banks, and even the Reserve Bank of India, especially when financial loss is involved.
