Hi all,
we had an email purporting to be from Asda, inviting us to complete a survey with the chance to win a prize (a Tupperware set). All they wanted was £2 towards postage. We nearly sent it, we put in credit card details etc but we checked before completing the purchase and found several sites warning of this particular scam, so we cancelled the transaction. I called the credit card company and they said that because the transaction was not completed the scammers would not have our credit card details. I asked them to cancel the card with immediate effect anyway.
It's not the loss of £2 that concerned me, but the fact that we nearly gave our credit card number, expiry date and 3 digit security code to this low life scum.
So be careful guys, there's always a new scam just around the corner it seems. At least we don't get time share calls any more!!
