How do you know that your credit card is securely hidden under your wallet? How far do you aware about the credit card fraud?Here I share my experience of being conned, by a salesperson today.
Rule no. 1 : Never ever expose your 3 digits security number on the back of the card.
Rule no. 2 : refer no. 1.
Someone called me today, promoting about their Touch & Go card, which is link to any of my credit card. The amount will credited automatically, every time I use it. The
I'm a worried to give him the no, and quickly grab my laptop to check the url given, http://linckclub.com.my, and when I search for it, the link transform into this link;
http://202.186.96.115/linkclub/index.do .Then he trying to convince me with some argument and reason saying that it is not the security number.. bla.. bla.. bla...
But at last I give up and gave it to him my credit card security number. ... When I feel something fishy, I rang the citibank customer service (JB Branch), and ask them. The lady said that I shouldn't expose the number and she agree to block the card, and I'll be given a new card. She also saying that they can easily use my credit card for any transaction!
The offer is really fantastic and fabulous. Seriously the offer blind me. I can't think wisely. Even I knew it and I still remember about the rule. But I only think about how easy I can use touch and go without 'top up' the credit. But, before I can enjoy the hotel, restaurant and cheap flight privilege, they will charge me RM 380 for a lifetime membership fees. Terkena aku!
Moral of the story : Careful with scam and fraud
I feel like an idiot!
