Smooth talking scammers are trying to get your
credit card information, reports the Better Business
Bureau.
Starr Munro of BBB Vancouver Island said they are
getting up to 10 calls a day from across Vancouver
Island from people concerned about receiving calls
that begin with an offer of a lower credit card
interest rate.
Their trick is to demand details, claiming they want
to “confirm” the credit card number, personal
identification number (PIN) and details.
Unfortunately stolen credit cards are the main way
to carry out identity theft,” said Munro.
They
are also demanding a flat fee for the reduced
interest rate. It is illegal in Canada to charge a
fee in advance of a loan or similar transaction.
The
standard recommendation: never give any information
that is solicited by phone.
