Random Ramblings

*ring ring*
Me: "Hello?"
Guy on the Phone: "Hello, may I speak with Mr. or Mrs. Golick, please?"
Me: "What's this about?"
Guy on the Phone: "Ma'am, I'm calling from the rewards department."
Me: "The rewards department... of what company?"
Guy on the Phone: "Our company deals with rewards for credit cards, Visa and MasterCard. I'm calling to tell you that our records show you've been using your card for two years, and you've earned enough points to win a two-week trip. Congratulations."
Me: "Which card would this be?"
Guy on the Phone: "Visa or MasterCard or debit."
Me: "Right... but which card has the points?"
Guy on the Phone: "Um... the Visa."
Me: "And whose card are you calling about?"
Guy on the Phone: "Yours."
Me: "But you asked for Mr. *or* Mrs. Golick. We use different cards. Whose card is it?"
Guy on the Phone: "...Yours."
Me: "My Visa card?"
Guy on the Phone: "...Yes."
Me: "Look, I don't take unsolicited calls about my credit card. If I called the number on the back of my card, would they know about this?"
Guy on the Phone: "...Yes?"
Me: "So if I hung up on you now and called the number on my card, they would know about these rewards points?"
Guy on the Phone: "Yes. Okay."
Me: "Okay then. Bye."

Two points of note for future scammers: 1. Marc and I aren't married, and he probably wouldn't take my name if we were. 2. None of my cards earn points.

When I called Visa, they confirmed that it was, in fact, a scam.
