rejected.content: There are various types of credit card scams out there that target consumers. These scams range from sophisticated phishing schemes that target large numbers of people online to seemingly legitimate offers that are just out to grab someone’s credit card information.
  Typically, the scammers will prey on the unsuspecting consumer by offering a “free” trial of a product or by offering discounts. Consumers are tricked into giving away their credit card information and then charged high hidden fees later on. Some are successful, while others may not be. 
  
  One common scam that is becoming increasingly prevalent is vishing—which is phishing over the phone. Through this method, scammers will call targets posing as representatives of a known company in order to obtain credit card information. Consumers should remain vigilant when dealing with unfamiliar offers and always look into the legitimacy of a company before divulging any of their private information.
