[Resolved]  Unknown — Fraud phone calls for credit card gift offers

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

I have been receiving calls from some unknown numbers, ([protected] received today), saying that they are calling from Master Visa Card Committee. They firstly congratulate us for being a long term credit card holder, and offer lucrative gift hampers and bonus offers. But they donot mention or have any idea about which company's credit card is one using. By very tricky manner they get all the information from the customer himself, and claim that my gift shall be posted to my mailing address by courier, but before that I need to undergo a verification process. So, they ask all the details about my credit card like, expiry date, type of credit card, last three digits of my card, name on the card. Once they receive it, they disconnect the call. As you know today it is very easy to debit any amount from the card, if the above details are known. So, I request the forum genuinely to get to the root of these cyber criminals, who fool innocent people everyday and loot away thousand of rupees from them. And as I have received the calls there were several voices in the background, which seems it is a big group on work for a huge amount.
