just got the call a few minutes ago.. saying she got discount card to give. special for 3000 visa card holder. i said i don’t have any credit card. she paused and said, “how about atm card with visa logo” and continue to explain the benefits of the discount card; the traveling, the airlines ticket, towing charge, mechanic fee, clinics and hospitals etc.. she said she need my address to send the card and brochure and ask RM499 for a lifetime membership. i ask her how to make the payment? she said, it will be auto debit from my account. she ask for my address and i said, “16, Jalan…err..can u call back later? my battery is running low.” and i hang up. i search the internet for her “offer” and confirmed that it was a scum. thank you for sharing with me your story. if not, i’ll end up become 1 of the victims..

Lol yeah. But I doubt they can actually block your card even though they claimed they are close to the banks. The bank would at least need to verify with you first even before they do that.

Anyway, I think it’s one of their method to try and scare you in giving out your card number. Oh well. Next time they call me up again and say that, I’ll probably tell them I’m gonna make a police report instead. Hehe

Hehehe… I was sort of “scammed” few years back, the travel card thing. Was told that I’m lucky Visa user to enjoy the card with such price and getting more than RM1000 freebies if signing up for it. I agreed to sign up to it because I could get discount on hotel stay if i book with the card, well… It did just that later I found out that it’s not that convenient to use. It’s more suitable for those based in West Malaysia. They told me it’s lifetime.

Then few years later, they called me again, asked me to upgrade. I told them I don’t want to because I didn’t use the card at all. Then I shot them, “I’m being told the card is lifetime one, no need to upgrade and I could enjoy the discounts, now you tell me I must upgrade?!?! Besides, I don’t use the card for years already, no point anymore to upgrade. Doesn’t suit my need.”, the guy kept asking me to upgrade and ask for my credut card number. I just told him I didn’t want to and just thanked him for his offer. Good thing he didn’t push further.

Then few months later, same company again, this time lady. Very WTF! She wanted me to upgrade, I said I didn’t want to. Then she asked me whether I’m still using the same credit card as few years back so that she could ease the process of upgrading by using my previous card detail. Good thing the card expired long time already *LOL* She insisted me to give her the number, so I thought of playing with her, I gave her the old card number ;p Then she asked for the 3 number at the back, I didn’t want to give. I told her since she got the card number already, she could just proceed but she said she want to double check to ensure that it’s correct. I didn’t want to give, she kept insisting and she got irritated. I just cut the line ;p Then moments later she called back, I told her I didn’t want to upgrade, no point to upgrade, I didn’t use the card at all, I changed my mind. Then she kept insisting again asking me for the 3 digits, I told her I change my mind already, I didn’t want and guess what she told me.

She said, fine, if I didn’t want to give the number, she will ask the bank to block my credit card because they have link to the bank and she suspected that I’m holding some other people card that’s why I didn’t want to give her the 3 digits at the back to verify against the record she had. I didn’t care and cut the line again and she never called back.

Hmm… What and where is the logic? So funny.
