Just a PSA, if this is not the right forum, sorry don't know where to put it.Everyone knows these scams are out there and I was always one of those people who thought 'how does that idiot fall for something like this' but I almost fell for it. Didn't realize how much better these scams were getting until I was almost a victim of it myself. Either that or it's possible their new? Tactic is to make these 5am phone calls to wake people up who are half asleep and not super coherent which make easier victims.
I know that had I been fully awake, the way the conversation went at the end there would be zero chance in falling for this but having been woken up and half asleep they would have got me except for a slip up she made at the end of the call. The call was extremely convincing until the end and I'm embarrassed to admit it but being half asleep they would have got me except for a slip up she made at the end.
Had the card started with 45 I would have read the number to them.Having been a victim of credit card fraud myself in the past everything she asked in the order and the way she asked it was identical to the process used by Real Visa/Mastercard security.I just got woken up by a call from what was supposedly Visa security at 5:30 am this morning. Phone rang as long distance and I have a family member who is extremely ill and in palliative care so I am expecting a long distance call in regards to their passing away so I ran to answer it.They asked for me by my full name and they identified themselves calling from Visa security department in regards to suspicious activity on my card. Told me there was a purchase made on Ebay at 1am this morning in the amount of $700.00 that he system had flagged as suspicious. They asked if I was aware of such a purchase and if I myself had made it.
The lady on the phone sounded very professional, didn't have any background noise on her end indicating a room full of people calling other potential victims and for lack of a better term that I can't think of at the moment and if I offend anyone I'm sorry, she didn't have any accent (which is what a lot of the people who make these type of calls or telemarketing calls have)She asked me if I had used the card recently and if I could tell her a recent purchase made on the card. I knew I had just used it for gas last night and told her I made a purchase at Shell in the amount of $80 something because I couldn't remember the exact change. She con firmed there was a charge on the account in the amount of $80.52, she filled in the 52 cents part to make it look like she was reading from a list of charges.I asked her if she knew where my card was compromised and she told me she is not able to reveal that information, just my card was compromised and that they were cancelling that card and issuing me a new one.She then again asked me to confirm that I had not made this purchase at Ebay and after doing so she told me they were going to cancel the card and issue me a new one. I would receive this card in the mail in the next 4-5 business days. She then told me in order to send me a new card she was going to ask me to verify my identity.She asked me to confirm my last payment to Visa, she then asked me how do I pay my Visa and from which bank are payments made. These 2 questions are noting I have never been asked before when confirming my identity to Visa She then asked me to confirm my card number starting with the number 45.That's where she blew it.
Being 1/2 asleep I realized I had reached into my wallet to grab my card to give her the number and that is when the alarm bells went off. My card doesn't start with 45At that point I was on high alert and I told her my card doesn't start with 45 and she should know that. I told her I would call Visa myself directly and she said that was fine but she could not cancel the card and I am at risk for more charges until the card is cancelled.
Please give your suggestionsregarding the problem.Sumanta. Yup, a driver is required. You will need to write a driver that tells your computer how to connect to your device out there (the microcontroller) and communicate to it that it wants to access the MicroSD attached to it. Is there any driver file necessary to install sothat the PC is able to detect the memory card. So when I am applying power to the Microcontroller the computeris not able to detect the memory card. 
She then proceeded to give me a toll free number to call and to call that number to alleviate any concerns.Obviously at this point being fully awake I i gnored the number she gave me and called the number on the back of my card and they confirmed it was a scam.Being half asleep, I realized I was going to give her my card number until I looked at it and realized it doesn't start with 45. If I was fully awake and had received this call at 2 in the afternoon, my guard would have been up instantly but I'm not used to getting 5am phone calls waking me out of a sound sleep from scammers.I don't know if waking people up is a new tactic or not but it is certainly very effective. Aug 4th, 2018 7:39 amI don't know if waking people up is a new tactic or not but it is certainly very effective.I got this type of phone call from 'Visa security' at least a couple of years ago, also in the middle of the night, so this isn't a new scam.As a strict rule I never provide personal information to callers like this. The most I'll do is confirm information they provide that's publicly available, i.e. My name and address. More importantly I assume that all such calls are fraudulent. Even if the caller sounds plausible I just tell them that I'll call back using the 1-800 on the back of the card.
I then ask for a case number to give their call center. (The caller may protest with all sorts of pressure tactics like my account will be liable for any new charges that occur. I just ignore and hang up.)In the one instance when the call was legit the caller had no problem with my calling the 1-800. They offered to give me their name, extension number and a case number. When I called the 1-800 they were able to confirm what the caller gave me.
Aug 4th, 2018 9:26 amThat's insufficient. They also need to know (or care) what time zone that area code is in.I suspect they call in the middle of the night intentionally for the reasons given upthread.But it's possible they don't know/don't care since all they want is your personal info and credit card number/exp date/CVV and the more calls they make the better their chances of finding a gullible person.The area code lets them determine your time zone plus or minus an hour, which is close enough to know if they're calling people who are likely to be asleep.
