Just wanted everyone to know that I think there is a new scam out there over the telephone. I got a call the other day from a company - I don't remember if he even gave me the name of the company. He first told me that I won a cash prize because I have a mastercard and then ask me if I did indeed have a mastercard. I told him I was not interested and hung up. So, not sure what he was after but please be aware.

Sounds like a scam to me, too. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck........

The scam is they will ask you to verify your mastercard by giving them the number, 3-4 digit security number and expirations date.
