...don't respond positively or negatively to this kind of horseshit. I've had them call me wanting to advise me of some sort of scam on my "credit card" but then they want me to give em my logins and passwords so they can verify my identity. When I suggested the identify themselves there was a sudden "disconnect".

...my dubiousness of these calls is based on getting about a dozen of them a day from people who want to buy my house or verify my account numbers or alert me that I have a package at Amazon that they have been unable to deliver for some reason.

...Im sure glad the gubmint took steps to eliminate these calls. Im still getting as many of them as ever, but the gubmint say it fixed, so it must be.

New credit card scam?

I received a phone call 20 minutes ago that was so staticky that I could hardly make anything out. I heard something about "back taxes ," and commented on that to my wife. 4 minutes later, she received a fraud alert text message asking if the 16¢ charge just applied to our credit card by some tax organization is legitimate. We responded in the negative, of course, and the credit card company has now canceled the card and is in the process of issuing a new one - which is a giant pain in the ass because we have a lot of auto-billing going through that card.

16¢. Why so little ? My suspicion is that it was just a test to see if the card could be billed and checking to see how well the victim is monitoring credit card activity. Who knows what was going to happen next. Maybe they'd have sold the card. Maybe they'd have initiated a huge purchase.

Watch out for this one guys. I've never heard of a credit card scammer phoning his victim.
