Credit Card Scams hitting the  
This one is ‘Pretty slick Scam’, since they provide YOU with all the  information, except the one piece they want.
 
WARNING - New Credit Card Scam 
Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already have it…  it’s the security 3-digit PIN number unique to only your
card, at the back  of your credit card they need, to MAX your card  on-line
 
 This information is worth reading.  By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works,  you'll be better prepared to protect yourself.  
 
If you get scammed and you give them  your 3-digit PIN number, and then guess who pays for the huge bill----YOU DO! 
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 (example) $497-99 from a Marketing company based  in 
 
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  s cam 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 are 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 if you do", and hangs up.
You actually say  very little, and they never ask for or tell you the Card number.  
 
The REAL VISA Security Department  has advised that this scam, will only take about 15 minutes before they begin to  ‘Max’ out your credit card’ 
 
WARNING- What the scammers want is  the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card.
Don't give it to them the  3-digit PIN on the back of your card AT ANY COST!
Instead, tell them you'll  call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their conversation.  
 
The real VISA would 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 too lateand/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report. 
If you think you have been scammed FILE 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.
