Talk about the types of scams doing the rounds during staff meetings. If people are aware of what could happen, it may jog a memory if they are targeted.
Use a call blocking denmark telegram service such as BT Call Protect which will send unwanted calls to junk
Modern phones and mobiles show the caller ID and the caller’s number. Treat them both with caution as they can be spoofed. Be especially cautious of unrecognised or blocked numbers.
The scammer may give a number to call, to check they are genuine. Never call this number, but instead look up the registered number for the company.
Scammers are skilled at manipulating a conversation, making the person feel overwhelmed or frightened. If this happens, put the phone down, don’t worry about seeming impolite.
Don’t give out sensitive information such as a bank account number or confidential company information on an incoming call. If it is a genuine call from the bank they will be happy for you to call them back.
Business owners are usually aware as to the risks of scams and often have an IT team looking after security and their VoIP systems. However, operational staff are not necessarily up to date in this regard and may require additional briefing. So next time you skim over the scamming headline, stop and think. The scammers’ next target may very well be much closer to home.
