Credit Card Scam Alert
David Weinberger posted at Joho the Blog about a credit card scam that's making the rounds. Like Dave, I figure I might fall for this one if I hadn't heard about it first, so I thought I'd pass it on.
Basically, the scammer calls up pretending to be from the credit card company and tells you they're going to give you a refund for something or other. Then they tell you your card number, and ask you to verify by giving them the 3-digit security code.
DON'T DO IT!!! Credit card companies never ask for that number, but the scammers will love you for it.
