The next 3 are the security numbers that verify that you are in possession of the card' (these are the numbers they are really after as these are the numbers you use to make internet purchases to prove you have the card).

'Read me the 3 numbers.' When you do he says '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? Don't hesitate to call back if you do.'

if anyone is stupid enough to fall for this they deserve to get milked for all they have. same goes for emails from your bank.

yeah, sorry bout that. think I was in a mood when I posted that.

one thing I am paranoid about is using bank machines - I am always looking above where you put your card in for a hidden camera thingy. I think this scam is more common in Britain that it is here though.


has anyone ever had someone stand near them when you are taking out money from a bank machine and they tell you that you have dropped something - so they can nick your card? happened to me a while ago. I was like "no I didn't drop anything, fuck off".

d) given out their login details over the phone to the person on that number
e) rang me a week later and gave out to me for it
