Just got a call 7:39PM here in central Alberta. No one on line just silence...

Hung up.

The best thing to do is block the number. There are a few ways you can do this:
If they're calling your landline or cell phone (not a smartphone) call your service provider and ask if call-blocking is available
If they're calling your smartphone, look on your screen for an app market icon, click on it and search for a call-blocking app. There should be several available.

(780) 702-7489 trying out the credit card points scam.  
Some Mumbia-sounding dooosh.

I got a call from a guy whoe seemed to be from india and called a number, that my credit card company does not have. He then called me on another number and I decided to take this guy on a ride. He told me I have received travel packages with the points earned on my card. Told me about 5 destinations. he then wanted to confirm my Date of Birth and Expiration date on my visa card. Which I gave. He then transferred me to his supervisor Bryan (E# 402). He said in order to confirm my bookings, I would need to give him the last 3 digits on the back of my card. Which I did, he then said to make this a legal confirmation, I would need to give him my 16 digit number on my card. Okay, this is where I stopped him. And sd if he called from my visa card company, he would need to already know that. Bryan sd that since it is a legal confirmation, I would need to repeat it.  this is where I decided to stop the game. I work for a credit card company, there is not just one visa card company. VISA IS A BRAND, the cards are managed by other companies, like banks and departments stores. I told him that I was going to tell him before I hung up. The information that i provided was a COMPLETE B***S***. MY SUGGESTION TO EVERYONE, WHO CAN SPARE A MINUTE, TAKE THEM ON A RIDE AND THEN HAVE THEIR CALL HANDLE GO UP. GIVE THEM THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE GOING TO WIN, BUT THEN SINK THEM.

A woman with a thick accent told me I had been randomly chosen and won a 7 day vacation to the Bahamas for 2 people.  All she needed was my credit card information to confirm I am at least 18 years of age.... SCAM !

So, I got a call from (780) 702-7489 last night around midnight. I didnt answer. I'm an Aussie in Canada at the moment but reading the other posts, we calls like back home to. They ask you to provide them with remote access to your PC. Don't do it! SCAM. Love coming over here.
