Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting survival English on phishers.
Before starting, let me first explain that you’ll be listening to some useful English words, followed by an example of how they are used.
So let’s start!
Woman: Phishers.
Man: Phishers is the name given to people who send you emails, to try and obtain private information about you in an attempt to steal money from you.
Now listen to this:
Woman: Whose that email from?
Man: I have no idea, I don’t recognise the address.
Woman: It says UTS Bank, have you changed bank accounts?
Man: No.
Woman: Be careful, if you open it then it could be a phisher.
Man: What’s a phisher?
Woman: Someone who will try and get your banking information, I think you should just delete it.
Woman: Fraudsters.
Man: The noun “fraud” means an act of cheating somebody to get money. A fraudster is a person who tries to commit a fraud.
For example:
Woman: That was another strange phone call, claiming to be market research from the bank.
Man: I’ve told you before not to take those calls, they are all fraudsters. You should politely put the phone down straight away.
Woman: It’s so difficult with all this advanced technology to know what’s real and what’s a fraud.
Woman: Private information.
Man: Private information is things such as your credit card number, bank account number, and passwords etc. that a phisher will try and get from you.
Listen to this short conversation:
Man: Whoops! Come here quickly. I opened that email, and they’ve sent me another one straight away.
Woman: I told you not to. What does it say?
Man: That they are updating their records, and need all my bank account details straight away.
Woman: Close the email, and call the bank directly, to warn them. In fact you’d better go there immediately, and speak with somebody face to face, to check that your account hasn’t been accessed.
Man: I’m on my way.
Woman: Under pressure.
Man:The phrase under pressure, means you feel forced to do something.
Listen to this:
Woman: I still don’t understand why you opened those emails, I warned you that they were phishers.
Man: I know, but when it said that they would suspend my account, if I didn’t provide information, I felt under pressure to open the next email.
Woman: Don’t worry, we’re nearly at the bank now, everything will be OK.
Woman: If you wish you can hear this lesson again. In the meantime we hope we have helped you to be more confident with your English. Watch out for the next topic. Thank you for using the EnglishBlog
