Did you ask him if this occurred in uat/staging or production environment?

 

[PrinceY]

I didn't know retailers setup counter scam dept to verify suspicions purchases with customers. especially now is consider festive shopping mood.

Just don’t waste time answering unknown calls.
I don’t think most retail stores got this kind of call verification though..

TS just cut your CC half so they can't charge

Sholud ask him to send you a link to key in personal & bank account info.

call back hardly norman HQ to verify

He got what type of accent?

 

[BusyBeeWorker]

Should be scammer, no legit representative is going to say "don't blame him if my CC kena billed." because they're not going to care as they're just a regular employee. You can always ask the bank to cancel/reject those transactions if it appears on your CC.

The more you talk to them the more information they have on you. Just hang up, no need to entertain such calls.

Talk Chinese like us

i don't pick up unknown number calls

maybe if same number call me twice, then maybe will consider picking up

this reduces most scam calls already

If you didn't order anything. Nothing to concern as long as no personal details shared.

i didn't share with them but they can quote my 'name'
but I straight say it's not me

Common scare tactics. They just want to confirm it's you that they are talking to. Then fish your information.

Hello, are you ah seng?
Wrong number, I am ah beng.
Cut the call before they can continue talking.
