WARNING...New Credit Card Scam.
>
>If you have a Visa or Mastercard you might want to read the

>and is likely to
>come here.
>
>
>Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; THEY already have
>it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA&
>MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better
>prepared to protect yourself. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN
>number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them. Instead, tell them
>you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their
>conversation.
>
>
>My husband was called on Wednesday from "VISA", and I was called on
>Thursday from "MasterCard".
>
>The scam works like this: Person calling says, "This is (name),and
>I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge Number
>is 12460 your card has been flagged for an
>unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be
>on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an
>Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a Marketing
>company based in Arizona?"
>
>When you say "No", the caller continues with, "Then we will be
>issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been
>watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500
>purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next
>statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is
>that
>correct?"
>
>You say "yes". The caller continues - "I will be starting a Fraud
>investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the
>1-800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for
>Security. You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller
>then gives you a 6 digit number. "Do you need me to read it again?"
>
>Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works. The caller then
>says, "I need to verify you are in possession of your card
>".He'll ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers".
>There’re 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of
>your card number, the
>next 3 are the security Numbers' that verify you are the possessor of
>the card. These are the numbers you sometimes use to make Internet
>purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read
>the 3 numbers to him.
>
>After you
>tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, "That is correct,
>I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost
>or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other
>questions? "After you say No, the caller then thanks you and states,
>"Don't hesitate to call "back and hangs up.
>
>You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the
>card number. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called
>back within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we glad we did! The
>REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the
>last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card.
>Long story made short- we made a real fraud report
>and closed the
>VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new number. What the scammers want is
>the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them. >Instead, tell them
>you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their
>conversation.
>
>The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the
>card as they already know the information since they issued
>the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think
>you're receiving a credit. However, by the time you get your
>statement you'll see charges for purchases you didn't make, and by
>then it's almost to late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud
>report.
>
>What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call
>from a "Jason Richardson of MasterCard" with a word-for-word
>repeat of the VISA scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung
>up! We filed a Police report, as instructed by VISA. The
>police said they are taking
>several of these reports daily! They also
>urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam
>is happening. |
