Be careful when someone calls your home requesting credit card information. Just this morning, I took a call from a woman claiming that my credit card was sent to collections and she needed some information from me.
Immediately, I questioned her statement saying that my bank has never called requesting information from me, they have my information. She told me I was looking for an argument; I told her "No, you haven't proven to me who you say you are and I'm only protecting my interests" and immediately disconnected the call.
I quickly called my bank and talked with customer service regarding my previous phone conversation. Be aware! There are phishing scammers out there looking:
- to gain access to private information
- to take advantage of your identity and assets
- to get what they want by using intimidation tactics
He advised me if I receive another such call to do exactly what I did and immediately call the bank and report it. I thought this was important information to pass along to you all!
Happy Saturday!
