A Call Center Rep Gave My Credit Card Number to a Third Party

Then he said, “Well, can I get the last four digits of your credit card number to verify that we spoke about the offer?”

I stopped. “Why do you need my credit card number for that?”

He said, “I don’t know; they need it.”

I was silent for a moment, and then figured I had just given him the number for the order, so it wasn’t as if it was a big secret to him; plus, he wasn’t asking for the full number. I said, “I won’t be charged for anything, right?”
