He reported it to his card provider and they confirmed that they have been seeing a fair few instances of this. Be aware and pass on to your friends and family....... BE ALERT latest credit card scam. Please pass this on to everyone you know... This one is pretty slick since they provide Y O U with all the information, except the one piece they want. 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. One of our employees was called on Wednesday from "VISA", and I called on Friday 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 Quote
