If you ever received a phone call from a stranger asking for your
Credit Card details, never give it to him. Do not feel threatened over
the phone, just put the phone down and walk away. If they call you
again, tell them that you will call the police and trace the call back
to their location. And if you really need to do so, do it.

What would I do? I will screw them and slam the phone down.

Ofcourse, if you call the bank’s official phone number and the customer service asked you for verification information, you don’t have to slam the phone down. You only need to do so when crazy people call you up claiming to be from some financial companies and need your credit card details.

Apparently, the email below is another form of 419 scam.

Instead of “Pay Money to Get Money”

The scammer is trying “Gimme you Credit Card Details before you can get your money”.
