You’re scammed.
Do you care if you were duped by an email, phone call, voice mail, text message, QR code, or a person in front of you?
If you trusted a person – that person who built some sort of relationship with you – yes.
Direct, personal fraud.
I’ll pose this thought – yes, we classify the different person targeting mechanisms as phishing, vishing, smshing, quishing – primarily for conversation amongst the people learning to defend against them.
But for victims of a scam – they don’t care the official name of the vector/mechanism.
