chosen.content: Common scams people run to obtain credit card numbers are phishing, hacking, and identity theft. Phishing is a scam that involves using malicious links or emails to steal credit card numbers. Hacking involves getting access to payment databases or using malware to steal credit card numbers, and identity theft is when someone obtains another person's personal information, like social security number and date of birth, to open a new account in that person's name. Though they are widely used, none of these scams are particularly effective. Phishing is easily identified, as banks and credit card companies often send emails alerting customers to suspicious activity. Hacking can usually be detected and credit card companies typically alert customers if their information has been stolen. Identity theft also is typically detected quickly. Overall, due to the increase of security and vigilance from customers and banks, credit card scams are becoming less effective.

rejected.content: Scams that try to obtain credit card numbers are known as "credit card phishing". These phishing scams typically use malicious emails or websites designed to lure victims into entering their credit card numbers. Phishing scams can be very effective, as over 300,000 credit card numbers are compromised every month. Common techniques used in credit card phishing scams include:
  
  1. Phony promotions: Scammers will create fake promotions offering free products or discounts in order to get victims to hand over their credit card numbers. 
  
  2. Malicious links: These links can appear in emails or on websites designed to lure victims into entering their credit card information on a fake website. 
  
  3. Malware: In some cases, scammers will install malware on computer systems that can track key strokes and steal credit card numbers directly.
  
  The effectiveness of these scams makes it important for people to be aware of the techniques used by scammers and to take precautions to protect themselves, like not responding to suspicious emails and downloading malicious malware.
