\ncard company. They claim to be from something like the security and
\nfraud department, and question you about a fake purchase for some
\namount close to $500.<\/p>\n
\nyours, they tell you that they're tracking the fraudsters and that you
\nwill receive a credit. They tell you that the fraudsters are making
\nfake purchases on cards for amounts just under $500, and that they're
\non the case.<\/p>\n
\nand address. They continue to spin the story, and eventually get you to
\nreveal the three extra numbers on the back of your card.<\/p>\n
\nunder $500. When you get your bill, you're unlikely to call the credit
\ncard company because you already know that they're on the case and that
\nyou'll receive a credit.<\/p>\n
\nattack. They have to hit a lot of cards fast and then disappear,
\nbecause otherwise they can be tracked, but I bet they've made a lot of
\nmoney so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
