Ask HN: How to mess with a gift card scammer?
Here&#x27;s my story. I purchased AT&amp;T services a while back and received AT&amp;T reward cards (VISA debit cards) as gift cards in the offer. Couple of days ago, I received a call claiming themselves to be from AT&amp;T center and told me that I am eligible for another reward card for being a good customer. They said that they need last 8 digits of current card and CVV to redeem the new card. They also help me setup the online PIN for the card as well. I was skeptical, so I looked up that phone number online - didn&#x27;t find any negative review. I asked them to verify my personal information and they seemed to have all of it correct.<p>I believed them and stupidly ended by giving them the details. I was monitoring the card and soon enough saw the balance being drained from it. I tried calling that number but as expected, it was out of service.<p>I called them today from a different number and it seems they are active again. What&#x27;s a good way to mess around with them? Can I find some details or go after them? I am a software engineer by profession and willing you try out something new.
