Calling Card Scam

This usually happens when you receive a phone call from someone claiming that they are calling from a fraud prevention division of a well-known long distance carrier or from the calling card company. The scammer informs you that there has been an activity on your calling card that appears suspicious. The scammers will tell you the first five or six digits of your card so that they can get your trust and ask you for the remaining numbers.

These first five or six digits are fairly common. Never under any circumstances should you give your calling card number to anyone over the phone. This is not how long distance carriers verify this issue. If you have given out your calling card number immediately cancel the card and request a new one.
