From the Daily Kenoshan[*1] .
The scammer is basically after your credit card’s security code (the one printed on the back of Mastercard/Visa/Discover, or just above your main number on American Express.
If anyone calls you and for any reason asks you for this number, hang up immediately and call your card’s 800 number to report a probable instance of credit card fraud.
Never, ever, ever give this number to anyone unless YOU have initiated the conversation.
