a very cool technique that some #infosec salesfolk are doing now - if you have the iOS phone call screening thing turned on on your phone, they state their reason for calling as

"cybersecurity breach" or "urgent breach detected"

Because they know that'll go to your screen as text.

And by very cool what I mean is "a very cool way of making sure I never talk to you"
