Robocall

Imagine this: You answer a phone call only to be greeted by an automated message delivered in a synthetic voice. This is a robocall, a call that uses a pre-recorded voice to deliver a message over the phone.

While some robocalls are legitimate, such as those alerting you to political updates or emergency notices, many are unsolicited attempts to engage you in telemarketing pitches or worse. Oftentimes, these calls are merely irritating distractions offering products or services of dubious value.

However, a more nefarious variety exists that you should be aware of: the Tech Support Scam. In these scams, the caller might promise a refund for services you've never used. It's a clever ruse designed to trick you into handing over your hard-earned money. Vigilance is key – by staying informed and cautious, you can protect yourself from falling victim to these deceptive practices.
