Finally some fun, a phishing expedition launched by a
solemn voice on my cell-phone, telling me that he, well-
wisher and altruist, stopped a transaction on my credit
card - I’m waiting with morbid curiosity to hear what
information he requires for his fraudulent transactions;
but I’m playing with fire - this criminal might get me to
divulge information against my better judgement, so I
ring off wondering what code he needed to separate me
from the funds in my credit card, whether he already had
my card number and just needed to fine-tune his scam
But it’s a fool’s game and I happily see on line that the
scammer did not take any money - now I’ll never know
how he reacted to being foiled like this: did he shout &
curse or simply called his next victim - and where did
he get my details, why did he think me an idiot telling
me to visit my bank the next day, as everybody knows
credit card transactions are only done by phone - what
a pity that my morbid fascination with criminals could
not be given free rein as it would lead to financial loss
which I can ill afford…
