Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Vishing can be described as phishing but only using a mobile telephone, making the victim give up any personal information that could be used for identity theft etc.

Pharming is a process which redirects the traffic from a known and trusted website to another one where they perform the operation of stealing the personal information of the people.

The example given in the question falls into the category of "Spear Phishing" which is when the victim receive e-mails that look like they have been sent by a trusted and known individual. This way they are more likely to open the e-mail or click on the link in the e-mail and the phishing act has a higher chance of success.

I hope this answer helps.

What is the preferred procedure for putting customers on hold​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer/Explanation:

Explain the reason you need to put the caller on hold.

Ask for the person's phone number, in case the conversation is cut off.

Promise to return in a minute—or your best estimate of how long the hold will last. If you think the delay will be longer than a couple of minutes, ask for a number and a time when you can call back.

If, despite your best efforts, the delay is taking longer than anticipated, check in with the caller so that he doesn't feel abandoned. Again, offer to call back, "rather than keep you holding."

When you return to the phone, apologize for the inconvenience and thank the caller for his patience.

Use the caller's name frequently to add a sense of connection.

The first step you can take when putting a caller on hold and making it a satisfying experience is a systematic one. When a caller is on hold, 60 seconds seems like an eternity, so see if you can program the phone system to play music (calming classical or jaunty jazz is best) to break this perception of an interminable wait. Aside from that, however, putting someone on hold in a professional way depends on your behavior. The golden rule to keep in mind is as follows: how would you like to be treated if you were on the other end of the line?
