I'm blown away that people still fall for these. Always say that you'll call back to verify and get the number from the company's website or call the number on your credit / debit card.

It can happen to anyone:

Cory Doctorow didn't just fall off the back of a turnip truck. If it can happen to him, odds are it can happen to you.

Who the hell gives their credit card number out to the company who should have records of said account. Sorry, but they did fall off the back of the turnip truck.

Didn't actually read the whole piece did ya? Just stopped at the first paragraph and then reacted?

It's fine, at this point I'm sure you'll go find something else to pick apart to protect your ego, meanwhile allowing the point to escape you entirely.

I just hope if/when you get scammed, the people around you are less of a dick about it.
