I'm one of those people who instantly hangs up on telemarketers, or doesn't even answer the phone in the first place. I always wondered, who the hell is falling for this bullshit...and that call made me realize they have to catch you off guard when your mind is on something else.
Yeah even if you are careful when it comes to stuff like that, if a spammer send you e-mail which is similar to something what you just expecting at the moment, for example an invoice for something your ordered, you could be screwed.
