Be wary of those who come bearing gifts. The most
recent credit card scam works like this:
A
phone call from someone who says that he is from
some outfit called: "Express Couriers" asking if
someone was going to be home because there is a
package, and the caller says that the delivery would
arrive at your home in roughly an hour. And sure
enough, about an hour later, a delivery man turns up
with a beautiful basket of flowers and wine. What a
surprise for you (especially if there is no special
occasion or holiday), and no-one certainly expects
anything like that! Intrigued you ask who the sender
is. The deliveryman's reply was, he is only
delivering the gift package, but allegedly a card is
being sent separately; (the card never arrives).
There is also an official looking ‘consignment’ note
with the gift. He now goes on to explain that
because the gift contains alcohol, there is a $3.50
‘delivery charge’ as proof that he had actually
delivered the package to an adult, and not just left
it on the doorstep to just be stolen or taken by
anyone. Sounds logical doesn’t it? You offer to pay
cash but he tells you that the company requires the
payment to be by credit or debit card only, so that
no ‘cash’ is exchanged and everything is properly
accounted for. You take out your (or your husbands)
credit/debit card and the "delivery man" asks you to
swipe the card on the small mobile card machine
which has a small screen and keypad where you now
enter the card's PIN and security number. A receipt
is printed out and given to you.
Next week
you will find that money has been charged/withdrawn
from your credit/debit account at various ATM
machines all over the country. It appears that the
"mobile credit card machine" which the deliveryman
carried now has all the info necessary to create a
"dummy" card with all your card details, after you
have swiped the card and entered the requested PIN
and security number.
Please be aware of this
most recent scam and share this information with
your family, friends, and neighbors. Any suspect
description or suspect vehicle information should be
reported to your local police agency.
