wow they are indeed very slick. Thank you so much for the warning. I am usually very careful about giving any info, but I would have fallen for this one. They have so much info already. Thanks again & I hope they catch them soon.

Thank you for that. I always like to make sure my Mom knows about these scams. She is so trusting sometimes, especially if it's something she's not real sure about.

some are stolen lists by ex employees of credit card companies, some are hackers who get into files of the credit card companies & some the credit card companies actually sell lists to buyers. You can check your cards privacy act to see if the state they do not sell lists. When I worked in telemarketing, mastercard esp. would sell us lists of cardholders with their card numbers to call for our vacation packages. I would never use the card number on the sheet but always ask the customer which way they wanted to purchase their vacation package. Scary world we live in huh?
