TIP OF THE WEEK

Unlocking the code

Identity thieves may already have a lot of information about you like your credit card number, the

cards expiration date, and your name, address, and phone number. With all that information in his

hands, why would he call you? Hes after one vital piece of information the security code on your

credit card.

Heres how the scam works. The scammer says hes calling from your credit cards security or fraud

department. Theyve flagged some suspicious activity on your card, he says. He makes up a bogus

transaction and asks if you authorized it. Of course, you didnt. So he says hell open a fraud

investigation, gives you a case reference number, and tells you to call the phone number on your credit

card if you have any questions. It all seems fine so far, right?

But, he says, theres just one more thing. He needs to verify that you are in possession of the card so

he asks you to tell him the security code. And its the final piece of the puzzle hes after.

If you get a call like this:

Dont give the caller any information about your account even if he already knows some of the

details.

Hang up the phone. Call the customer service number on the back of your credit card. Talk to the

fraud or security department and ask about the unauthorized charges the caller told you about.

Report the suspicious call to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint or 1-877-FTC-HELP.

Tell your friends, family, neighbors, and others about it. By spreading the word, you can help

someone you care about avoid falling for a scam.

Identity thieves will try a lot of different tricks to get your personal information. No matter the story

they tell you, dont give anyone your personal information if you didnt initiate the contact using

contact information you know is trustworthy. And find out what else you can do to protect your

personal information from ending up in the wrong hands.
