Guy warns people of credit card scammers

  • Vener Quiogue was called by a man claiming to be BPI employee
  • The man asks him about his credit card information but gets nothing
  • Netizens react

Vener Quiogue went on Twitter to warn people about credit card scammers.

It all started when an unknown number called him and the caller introduced himself as Alex from BPI Makati.

The number started off with “0905” which already make Quiogue skeptical about the whole thing.

What was surprising was that Alex knew some info about Quiogue.

Alex said that Quiogue’s card was about to expire but wasn’t sure of the exact month.

As a credit card owner, Quiogue wanted to know Alex’s purpose. Alex then stated the first eight digits of Quiogue’s card number.

Alex wouldn’t give up and kept on asking for the last eight digits. Quiogue gave him some random numbers and when Alex didn’t react and said that the numbers were wrong, he confirmed that it was indeed a scam.

When Alex tried to get the security code at the back of the card, Quiogue dropped the call.

Later on, Quiogue decided to call Alex but the scammer wouldn’t answer. So he shot him a text. Alex then called back immediately.

Alex then asked for the code again but with a little more aggression, perhaps trying to intimidate him.

Quiogue then exposed him and that’s when Alex blew up. Quiogue fought back with words of his own.

Their conversation ended there, but Quiogue is still left disturbed.

The whole thing got him thinking on how scammers get information from people like him.

Quiogue advised people not to share their credit card number with anyone.

Having read his thread, BPI notified Quiogue that they are already doing an investigation on the whole thing.
