Credit Card Scam at Disney World

Credit card scams are multiplying faster than we can get the word out about them, and apparently nothing is sacred to a scammer, not even Disney World.

Several guests at Disney World received phone calls regarding Disney tickets at cut-rate prices, purportedly from a Disney employee. In each case, their credit cards were charged for staggering amounts, $1500.00 in this case, for a total of $11,000 amongst the cards compromised.

Disney did the right thing and returned all the money to their customer's credit cards, but this is just another instance in which something that seems safe, could be a scam.

Always guard your credit card numbers and don't give them out over the phone unless you know for sure who is on the other end.

Don't call us, we'll call you is a good rule.

Of course make sure you have the real phone number, don't recommend giving your card info to anyone whos ad is written in the stall in the grocery store lavatory or something.
