| 1142479 | 2010-10-07 22:03:00 | Just had a scam banking phone call from a person of Indian descent saying he was from my bank and saying that my bank had been overcharging me on fees for the last 30 years. I will skip all the details here. After talking to me for 5 mins he said he had to put me onto his supervisor whom wanted to know my Credit Card number. He knew the first 5 numbers and wanted me to give him the rest. He twice asked me for the rest of the numbers and after I refused he said the call is now terminated and hung up. I strait away rung my bank who have noted all this down on my records. :) |

| 1142482 | 2010-10-07 22:58:00 | It is not hard to guess the first few numbers of a credit card as they are common to thousands of other cards from the same credit card supplier. There is no need to be alarmed as you did not supply any other information. Your account has not been compromised in any way, they were only using information that is common knowledge. | Safari (3993) | ||
