new scam
#3
I get these on my landline about as frequently as I get those, "grampa"  or "IRS" scams. Anytime you have to give your credit card number to someone that calls or sends you an email, it's a scam. Big clue, look at caller ID and the number is random and has nothing to do with your credit card company. Another clue is they way they say the numbers, "three, nine, nine, point, nine nine", like really official sounding they think.

I just called one of my credit card companies earlier today to report a false charge from Amazon, I'll let them deal with it. It wasn't a big charge, but sometimes a thief with your card number might charge something small to see if you spot it, then they'll go big. In my case, they are issuing me a new card number and will investigate the charge.
