Phantom Debt
Phantom debt collection fraud appears in many variants, but the most common component among them is the claim that a customer is indebted and has to pay it, or else they will incur heavy penalties. Regardless of whether the customer really took out a loan or not, they may accept a call later during which they will be asked to pay the money of the loan.
Pharming
Pharming is a cyber-attack aimed at exchanging traffic from an official website to a different website. The second website is usually a copy of the original, designed to gather personal information such as credit card numbers. Pharming could be performed either by varying the hosts folder on a victim's computer or by misusing a weakness in DNS server software. Pharming involves undefended access to a target computer, such as a customer's home computer, rather than a corporate server.
