Sometime ago I had a call from my credit card company - to start with, they wanted my security answers - but I asked what the call was about. They wouldn't ell me if I didn't give them the security answers ..... but as they had phoned me, I didn't know if the call was genuine. Like you, I called the card company myself and found it was a genuine call - but just a marketing one, so why couldn't they jusy have given me a general idea at the start!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-56779940345283343862011-05-28T10:33:02.326+01:002011-05-28T10:33:02.326+01:00It leaves a nasty taste, doesn't it? when my...It leaves a nasty taste, doesn't it? when my card was used illegally they tested it every so often by making very small donations to charities to make sure it hadn't been reported yet. I was apparently buying airline tickets all over Scandinavia and loads of computer games - not a likely scenario in my case!!Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09638424388530718289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-10937427427884392002011-05-27T16:49:19.753+01:002011-05-27T16:49:19.753+01:00Very sensible of you to be so careful.

Incidentally, I had a similar call to inform me increasing amounts had been withdrawn from my account from the stroke of midnight and thereafter at 5 minute intervals.
