There are tons of scams out there. I keep winning millions of dollars in lotteries that I never heard of. But there are people that fall for these, provide information to the scammer and get taked to the proverbial cleaners. I did have an incident a few months ago where someoen used my card number to charge a few things in europe. Started with a pair on womens Italian boots, then an airline ticket, and they tried a second ticket. I did have the charges reversed. I would not be buying shoes for a woman, and have not been in Europe since 1956. Not to mention I will not fly anyway. I caught the charges right away, as I tend to check my account a few times a week. The card scams are only a small part of the whole picture. YMMV
