Credit card scam
I just heard about a telephone scam I would have fallen for, so I thought I’d pass it along.
In essence, the caller says they’re with the credit card company’s security department. They read you your card number and tell you some malarkey about refunding you money. They ask for the security code on the back of your card to confirm that you’re in possession of the card.
As soon as they ask you for that code, you know they’re scammers. That’s all they want from you. Give it to them and you’ll find a hefty charge added to your account. Apparently the credit card companies never ask you for that security code.
Of course, the warning I received and am passing on to you might itself be a scam. In fact, maybe I’m hoaxing you right now. Bwahahaha…eh.
