Vishing for sure. I can already hear the smooth-talking voice of that 'Julie Simmons' trying to swindle me out of my hard-earned money. Not today, scammer!

Haha, this reminds me of that time I got a call from a 'Nigerian prince' asking for my bank details. People these days are getting so creative with their scams!

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could be phishing or spear phishing too. We need more context about the company and the user's relationship with them. But vishing is definitely a possibility here.

I think it could be phishing, they are trying to get your credit card information.

This is clearly a vishing attack. The attacker is trying to get the user's credit card information by impersonating a company representative. Better be careful with these kinds of unsolicited calls!
