In Reply to: Beware of this Credit Card Scam posted by carofire on Friday, 24. July 2009 at 16:11 Bali Time:
where they have told me that they need my credit card details, but would not be using the details until I am there, I usually switch a couple of the numbers around just to make sure they can't use it.
If they then contact me to say the numbers are incorrect, and the card is not going through, I ask why they were trying to utilise the card anyway, as this was not the agreement.
If they are above board and do not try to use the card, just correct the turned around numbers when you get there and explain you made a mistake.
Might help in the future.
