[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 356520, member: 6969"] Just had a phone call from somebody claiming to be from "verified by Visa" (if you don't know, verified by visa is the mechanism to enter your security information to validate for instance an on line visa credit or debit card payment) The gist of the phone call was somebody was trying to set up a £3500 payment from my [I]company name[/I] credit card. Now the thing is I don't have a company credit card so he's obviously talking rubbish. I simply told him that and hung up. I suspect if the call had continued he would probably have "verified" some of my account details or something. So it looks like a new scam is out there doing the rounds. No doubt if he calls enough companies, he will find one that does have a company visa credit card and will harvest it's details. That's my guess at least what it's all about. Withheld telephone number of course. [/QUOTE]
