Exact same call as bjay. Person claimed to be from "Visa Mastercard Company" saying I had been selected for a trip to Florida for 4 people. I asked for a contact number to call them back at and they gave me the 1-800 number for TD Waterhouse. Given that TD does not issued Mastercards the whole thing is completely suspect.
Person on the phone requested the 7 digits on the back of my Mastercard (which I made up as well as the fact that I even had a Mastercard at all), then he asked for the 3rd block of numbers on the front of the card, to which I again made up along with the expiry he requested. I asked him if he could verify my card immediately and he answered yes. He then read out a bunch of numbers which was supposely my Mastercard number and asked me to verify. I again questioned him if this was the number he had pulled from his database and he said yes. I can only assume he wanted me to correct his number and thereby give him a legit credit card number with expiry and the security code on the back.
The Caller addresses you as Mr. "insert your lastname here" or Ms. "lastname" and can obviously get your address through the phone book. Do not fall for readily available information as being verification that they are legit!
I've since reported this to the OPP but given that the number appears to be some cover number I doubt it's traceable. My only advise to people is to be EXTREMELY skeptical of phone calls which dangle carrots.

Hey i know what this number is, its a jump line for Skype users. If you want to make a call on Skype this is one of the thousands of number it will use. So it could be one of hundreds of people, chances are it was a wrong number anyways!!! hope this helpss\

Some Mid Eastern Indian sounding male whom I could barely understand his English started to tell me something about lowering my interest rate. I cut him off and hung up.
