Credit Card Scam Call About Walmart Purchase

A bbb report about a impersonation scam that cost someone $919.45. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

A woman called and said someone was trying to use my credit card at Walmart to buy video equipment for $919.45. After a while, she told me to hold on, saying she was going to connect me to my bank's fraud center. A man kept asking questions about how many bank accounts I had, where they were, and how much was in each account. I couldn't understand them because they spoke broken English. After a while of him questioning me, I told him I was going to call my bank and hung up. I should not have stayed on the phone that long; I should have called my bank right away. I went to my bank, and the lady told me it was a scam. She gave me new cards.
