this is the new scam some will call you and say they are from visa and there a high charge on your bill , then they ask you to give them the number of your credit card to veryfy it. if you do not , they say they cancel your credit card the people can not cancel your credit card since they are not from the credit card company plus the , they real visa will not ask for your number by phone they all ready have it. so watch out for this kind of scam and some times they do have the correct mailing address . do not give your credit card number over the phone, when some one call you. hang up and call the number on the back of your card and then ask them the right company if there any high charges on your bill then you did not do. most likeynot

People should never give personal data. If I receive a call like this, I simply say, give me your name, now I call back my Credit Card number so I am sure you are not a scammer.

Now that's a real scam and we should learn from this and not give anybody our personal information. Especially over the phone.

I tell them why are they asking me for that information when they called me to tell me? Most people are aware of how their credit card companies operate: they send you e-mails or phone calls by name (not "dear customer"), and they use proper grammar (not "you has outstanding charge on card"). I suppose they keep trying because there's someone who doesn't know that.
