我家的电话只服务留言
 
我也接到能说出名字的电话 说是大使馆的 我说把你分机号给我我自己打过去核实 他直接挂了
你没有接到高级骗子的电话。

加拿大已经发生多起诈骗,骗子打了电话自称是银行或者其他部门,然后给一个真的电话让受骗者打回去,然后就挂上电话。记住了:
电话没有真正挂断,你按照真实的银行电话打回去,实际根本没有重新打电话,其实还是原来那个骗子的电话连接,结果上当。

目前加拿大电话系统好像有十几秒时间,好像政府正在跟电话公司讨论怎么消除这个漏洞。



Beware of the delayed disconnect phone scam​


VANCOUVER -- It starts with a call claiming to come from your bank’s fraud department informing you that there have been suspicious charges on your credit card, or possibly that someone has applied for credit in your name. They don’t ask you for any information but instead ask you to contact the fraud department by calling the number on the back of your credit or bank card.


Audrey Cerny of Metro Vancouver received such a call. In a panic, she hung up, got her credit card out and called the number on the back of credit card. She says she was put through to someone in the fraud department.


“He proceeded to ask a whole bunch of questions to confirm who I was. Email address, credit card number, birth date, full name,” Cerny said.

She even verified the security code on the back of her credit card.

However, Cerny wasn’t talking with her bank at all. The scammers hadn’t hung up and were still on the line.

Here is how it works. Even though you hang up, on landline phones the caller can remain on the line. It could be seconds, though in Cerny’s case, she says it was longer than that.

Typically, the scammers will work in teams. When you pick up the phone again, they will play a recorded dial tone, then "answer the call" after you dial – and even pretend to transfer you to someone else.
