I got a call the other day saying I won a $100 gas card and just needed to supply them with my info. Me, being a smart fella, knew it was impossible for me to win something that I didnt enter, so I wanted to hear this scam.

They asked questions about verifying my info, name, address, blah blah blah so I gave them all fake info. Then they said I had to pay $3 for shipping costs and wanted a credit card number, but before that, they wanted to create an account for me with a username and password. So i gave them some BS username and for a password they said to use your mothers maiden name

I wonder how many people they got on this? With this info, you can call the bank and request a new card sent out to a new address.
I know its crazy. I constantly warn my mom about this kind of thing. Thankfully my grandparents don't go on the web, and they barely even answer a phone.
