Best Answer

In one context, it may be Social Engineering. However, when a person on the phone asks personal questions this might be the type of attack that could lead to identity theft. This type of attack is a criminal act not a tort. People should be cautious about answering ANY personal questions when *you* did not initiate the phone call. Do not give your name, address, family names, pet names, your email address, and never, ever give your Social Security Number OR Banking information. Each piece of information gives the caller details about you, through which they can build a profile about you, and research you via the internet. Never give info if promised a gift for doing the survey. The only 'gift' you'll get is a stolen identity.
