汽车保修电话诈骗使用树

“礼貌”电话在今天上午11:52来自(818)870 - 8192。它照亮的NSI GRP的领导。这是可假定的GRP组。“最近我们发送你邮件说的明信片服务维护保修98沃尔沃即将到期,“男声的记录说。我回忆了明信片:小,白色与蓝色边框的框架。不是从我的经销商,所以我扔了出去。记录消息然后接着说,如果你不回应按1按键电话,你的车将不再有资格获得保修。愚蠢的事情像保持保证在他们可以找到的地方,就像不知道保修过期日期等详细情况,这个真的让我按下按钮。当我推1,它带我去第二个录音信息,这个女说,虽然他们尊重你的隐私,请按1。(我的理解:你基本上说,‘好吧,我知道我现在泄露我的隐私。)我挂了电话之后,计算下一层就是你给罪犯看到关于保修或一些这样的信息。 To settle my question around warranty expiration, I called a reputable source - my Volvo dealer. The head of sales, John White, laughed as he told me my car had been out of warranty since 2003. "I'd never offer you a warranty on that car. A '98? All those miles," he added bemusedly. My warranty ignorance aside, the implication is that reputable firms stay away from stuff like that. Still, how did the caller know the make, model and year of my automobile? At first I thought of the dealership and financer of my loan. But it quickly became apparent there are many places this information could be available to scammers. Easy enough to get car make and year records from the DMV. From there the scammers could extrapolate, knowing (unlike me) that a car that age would be out of warranty. It feels almost useless to wonder how they got such targeted information about my vehicle. But just know that the criminals are getting better at targeting their attacks like this.
