People selling magazine subscriptions may "offer" an extremely low price which is only available if you pay with a credit card. Repeatedly, terms like "verification," "identification," or "process" will be used to try to get you to reveal your credit card number. Once you give it, the con artist will use the number to place fake orders.
Never give anyone your credit card number on the phone unless you made the call to place an order or to make a donation. Do not make a donation to an unknown charity. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the organization complies with their standards.
