I was told I was recieving this award for being a credit card customer and was asked for my CC#, type, and exp. date. I wasn't asked for the number on the back but am still suspisus (sp?) of the whole thing. If anyone has heard anything about fraud from this company or knows where I can resurch into them please let me know. I don't want to get taken in this situation.

It's all a scam!! I have received those letters from England, Africa, and the States!! They want all you'r information. Then you have to send couple of thousand of dollars, to cover the shipping of your money. Then who guarantees, that you'll get you'r money??

If you won an award for being a credit card holder, why would they need your card number? I sicerely hope for your sake that you did not give this info. to these crooks. Many times companies do not require the routing number, (the 3 on the back). With the info they asked for they could easily wipe out your bank account before you had a clue it was going on. Be safe and never give out card nos. or other credit info over the internet or phone, and double check with the BBB in your state or city to make sure the people requesting the info are legit.

You only need the 3 on the back if you're making a purchase on line or over the phone!!. I hope you didn't give them that other information. They can now use your credit card for anything. They may have a retail account, or may work for a retail store and are currently running up your card. Call your credit card company immediately.

Definitely fraud! DO NOT EVER GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO TO ANYBODY OVER THE TELEPHONE. If it was legitimate, they would have contacted you by registered or certified mail. The scammers already have most of the information they need, your name, maybe your address, your phone number...all of these are easily obtainable. You give them the final piece of info like your card number and they are on the way to stealing your identity.

If you gave them your cc #, type, and expiration date, then call your bank that holds that credit card as soon as possible and have them stop that card and issue you a new one. If they 'knew' you were a credit card customer, they would have known what "type" credit card you have and would not have had to ask you. No one should ever call you to ask your personal information. If it happens, IT IS A SCAM! PLEASE, call your bank now if you gave out ANY information!

Hopefully you didn't give them your credit card number.
If any company you never heard of asks you for personal info it's a scam.
