I don't usually write this sort of thing, but this sounds worth repeating. Currently UK only and telephone based. You get a phone call from Access/Mastercard or Visa Fraud dept. telling you that they have found someone is using your card fraudulently. After some speel they ask you to tell them the 3 security digits on the back of the card, the new extra ones put on for internet transactions. This is to prove that you currently have the card and it hasn't been stolen. Guess what the correct Fraud dept. don't ask you for anything like numbers from your card - it's a scam, put phone down. No website or telephone caller needs to know.
