Card numbers...

Before some months

I wont enjoy sales call in my handphone, but when you talk english, the Indian ascent english(more specifically north indian ascent) I was totally motivated!!!

Sales girl on the phone: Sir, How often you call to India sir...how much you pay for one minute sir...our international call card is very guud sir. Its basically for NRIs. Its verrry cheap sir...
Sir, if you are interested I will give it to my manager who can guide you for the payment sir...

I liked the deal...it will be less than 30cents!!! what a fabulous offer...so I asked how can I pay for the card??!!! for which I was asked about the visa card/bank card number!!!

Now

I got a call from my bank saying that they are blocking my bank card as it has been traced by some illegal syndicates (the only syndicate I know is the indian Syndicate bank) and now I have visit the bank to collect my new ATM card.Beware of such calls and dont give your card numbers....
