Ms. J of Indonesia; “Several weeks ago, I received a phone call from a number. It wasn’t a personal number, and I picked it up. The person who called me said that he was from my credit card issuing bank. He sounded professional, like people who usually called from the bank, so I wasn’t suspicious. He said that in order to improve the bank credit card service, they wanted to offer a discount card for me. - He said it was free, and that I could use it in a lot of places, including staying at three star hotels for a big discount, or even for free -At first, hearing about these discounts excited me, I love discounts. But, after hearing the explanation, I started to feel suspicious because it sounded too good to be true - He even asked for my credit card number and my address, which I stupidly gave away because I wasn’t suspicious at first.

He joked around with me several times, which made me felt even more suspicious because people from banks rarely make jokes to their customers - And the icing on the cake was when he said that even though it was free, there was a tax every month and I needed to pay for 24 months up front. It was IDR 2.2 million (around USD 160), which was a lot of me. -I ended up agreeing to everything, but made a note to myself to search the card online – during research I found Indonesian Detective Agency Wilsons who have written extensive about this scam and many others

After the phone call ended, another person called me to confirm my address because the card would be delivered to me personally - Which was weird because banks never do that, either

I confirmed everything and confirmed my address, though I didn’t gave the full address - I ended up blocking the numbers, turned off the phone so no one could call me, and went to work. I searched on the detectiveswilsons.com website for the name of the company that they said issued the discount card - I couldn’t find any clear information on it, so I searched if there were any frauds like this. It turned out from what Wilsons’ had written that it was a common fraud, the victims are usually new credit card holders like me - The person who would bring the card to our address also would bring an EDC reader and we paid for the ‘tax’ by swiping our credit card - After that transaction, the discount card would be invalid and useless
​
I guess I am lucky that I am not so gullible anymore - I have gotten scammed twice before, LOL

If anyone is from Indonesia, please be careful of this”
