Vishing: Short for "voice phishing". A scam setup to have victims call a phone number and give personal information to an automated system or to give info to a caller that is posing as a financial institution. VOIP makes it easy to "spoof" the caller ID, so folks tend to let their guard down when they see a familar name on their caller ID. Your financial institution will never call you to ask you to give them the information that they already have.
