There was a deliberate effort by the Longview Park Community Watch (LPCW)
to engage Enloe on this and other related issues. We met with school
officials and discussed strategies for proactively engaging students on the
issue, including a concept where student organizations would design,
decorate, and deploy trashcans along Bertie Drive (if LPCW could provide
the trashcans). Reactive/punitive measures were also considered. In
addition,LPCW partnered with the Enloe National Honor Society to conduct
cleanups through the City of Raleigh's Adopt-A-Stream program. These
efforts were suspended during the stream restoration project, but now might
be a good time to rekindle them.

>> *WOW I WOULD FALL FOR THIS SCAM*
>>
>>
>> *Visa / MasterCard FRAUD*
>>
>> *Verified with Snopes: *
>> http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcard.asp
>>
>> This is a heads up for everyone regarding the latest in Visa fraud.
>> Royal Bank received this communication about the newest scam. This is
>> happening in the Midwest right now and moving across the
>> country.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> This one is pretty slick, since they provide YOU with all the
>> information, except the one piece they
>> want.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; they already
>> have it.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA &
>> MasterCard telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to
>> protect yourself. One of our employees was called on Wednesday from 'VISA',
>> and I was called on Thursday from
>> 'MasterCard'.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> The scam works like this:<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> Person calling says - 'This is (name) and I'm calling from the Security
>> and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460, your card has been
>> flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This
>> would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you
>> purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a marketing company
>> based in Arizona?' When you say 'No', the caller continues with, 'Then we
>> will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been
>> watching, and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500
>> purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the
>> credit will be sent to (gives you your address). Is that correct?' You say
>> 'yes'. <http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> The caller continues - 'I will be starting a Fraud Investigation. If you
>> have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of
>> your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this
>> Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. 'Do you need me
>> to read it again?' <http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works - The caller then says,
>> 'I need to verify you are in possession of your card'. He'll ask you to
>> 'turn your card over and look for some numbers'. There are 7 numbers; the
>> first 4 are part of your card number, the last 3 are the Security Numbers
>> that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you
>> sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The
>> caller will ask you to read the last 3 numbers to him. After you tell the
>> caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, 'That is correct, I just needed to verify
>> that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your
>> card. Do you have any other
>> questions?'<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> After you say no, the caller then thanks you and states, 'Don't hesitate
>> to call back if you do', and hangs up. You actually say very little, and
>> they never ask for or tell you the card number. But after we were called on
>> Wednesday, we called back within 20 minutes to ask a question. We were glad
>> we did! The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the
>> last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card. We made
>> a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new
>> number.*What the Scammer wants is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the
>> card. Don't give it to them.*Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master
>> Card directly for verification of their
>> conversation.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card,
>> as they already know the information, since they issued the card! If you
>> give the Scammer your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a
>> credit. However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges for
>> purchases you didn't make, and by then it's almost too late and/or more
>> difficult to actually file a fraud
>> report.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a
>> 'Jason Richardson of MasterCard' with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA
>> Scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a police
>> report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several of
>> these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this
>> scam is happening. I dealt with a similar situation this morning, with the
>> caller telling me that $3,097 had been charged to my account for plane
>> tickets to Spain, and so on through the above
>> routine.<http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
>>
>> It appears that this is a very active scam, and evidently quite
>> successful... <http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp>
