Answer:

Vishing

Step-by-step explanation:

Vishing is a new type of phishing, a criminal practice of deceiving people through social engineering to disclose personal information such as social security number, credit card, bank password, and more. The origin of your name comes from the term Voice + Phishing. In other words we can state that this practice represents the illegal practice of trying to get credit card numbers using telephone and voice technologies.

Many of these attacks work, as there is a professionalism on the part of criminals to make the experience very similar to that of a real bank. In this scam, an automated answering system is created that, to a lay user, appears to be from a credible company.
