Answer 2

There are thousands of easier ways to get a credit card number than tapping a phone line. It would be more trouble than it's worth.

Also, you don't have to prove when or how the number was stolen (most victims of Identity Theft never really know how) only that it was stolen.

Answer 3

Give personal details on credible sites to avoid being defrauded.
