Beware of Calls from VISA/Mastercard

I’ve just had a call from an undisclosed International number saying they were VISA/Mastercard security and that there was a problem.  I put the phone down on them, as I know the scam.  If it’s the one indicated, they know your address and credit card number and they’re after your pin, with some cock and bull story.

Don’t ever type anything in.

I’ve had about six International calls that I did not answer in the last month or so.  I suspect it’s the same crooked scam.
