Not only that, someone who tracks can hear ATM pin codes or some confidential thing you say over the phone.

I don't think that they could scam you that way, but one thing I know is that there are many telemarketers who are calling home phones lately. I would really hate it if they started to call my mobile phones as well. I've been trying to get our name and number off the public list for a long time now.

There was recently a big rumor in our country that someone can steal your all prepaid balance by making a call from some special number. It wasn't true at all.

Most of the frauds committed have a inside hand to the entire modus operandi - something that even KPMG has established

I have received a call from a private number which is not displayed on screen and the caller wants me to press some numbers one by one but I refused to do

Best thing to do is hang up immediately or just not answer blocked calls.

Sometimes people in marketing make cold calls from the directory and pose as they know you for a long time and try to get personal information from you
