Here's a new version of credit card fraud.
is very refined because they are con artists who give you all the information, except to the party
missing.
Note: the caller does not ask you your card number
since it already has.
The following information is worth reading carefully. By understanding how well
OWL works VISA, MASTER CARD or the like, you'll be able to protect
.
The scam works like this:
The person (the trickster) who calls says
'Hello my name is (guy) and call the security department of
VISA. My ID number is 12460. Your card indicates that there is an infrequent purchase 
call to verify. This VISA card issued
by (name of bank). Did you make a purchase of a 'AntiTelecomercialización' (or anything else that comes to mind) for an amount of EUR497.99 call to verify. This VISA card issued Sevilla a company (or anyone else)? " When you respond
NO, continue to say,
'Well, we'll check your account. We monitor this company for some time as
purchases vary between EUR297 and EUR497,
exactly below the limit of EUR500 granted by most credit cards.
Before your next relationship will send your credit account to the address below
(TU tell you specific direction), is it correct? '
answered YES.
still saying they will write a report of fraud on your record and if you have additional questions
you want to do is to call 902-xxx
number written on the back of your card (902-VISA) that shown for our security.
You must then confirm that the card number is correct
. They give you a 6 digit number.
'Do you want to repeat the number? "
Now comes the MOST IMPORTANT part of this scam.
The scammer says
'I see that you are actually in possession of your card. "
will ask you to turn your card over and look at some numbers.
'There are 7 numbers: the first 4 are part of your card number, the 3
following are security numbers to ensure it is in possession of your card
. Are the numbers that you would use to make a purchase, for example
Internet, so that there is assurance that you have the card in his hand. "
The scammer will ask you to read the 3 numbers, and then you say,
'is true. We had to check for
had stolen the card or not he had lost and continued in possession
Do you have any other questions you may have?
After you answer no, we appreciate it and add
'Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions' ... and hangs.
Scammers hardly say anything and never gave them or you have requested, your card
.
After this call may take two things:
- Do not do anything and when we want to make any other payment with
we reject it for failing to balance. Then we would call to ask Visa
happened.
- O, that call VISA to confirm the earlier conversation.
Fortunately we have in our possession the REAL phone number
the VISA security department and inform us that there's
have us call was a scam and that in the last minute is charged to our account
a new purchase of £ 497.99.
summary, we report that we suffered a complete scam, and VISA
immediately canceled our card and we say we will
a new card.
The scammers target is to get your
personal identification number (PIN or PIN in English) with 3 digits inscribed on the back of the card
. NEVER GIVE
this number over the phone and say, when you call, you're going to call directly
VISA (or whatever your bank or box or similar) to
check this issue.
VISA has indicated that NEVER ask for the information displayed on our
card because they already have, which is logical because they are the
you issued the card.
When the crooks give our NIP / 3 digit PIN they have
complete scam. After a few days receive the charge on our account
and we will learn that there is a purchase I never did but too late or too difficult
lodge a complaint.
PLEASE: please circulate this information
