I gave only my credit card no. and expiry date for transaction to a person. Can he misuse my card?

It was a magazine company. They have been calling me from many days and i decided today to take 1 month subscription. They asked my credit card no. and expiry date. nothing else. so it safe ? can they take out money without the last 3 digit code printed at back ?|||Yes, its safe because CV2 number at the back is necessary for the online transaction both by visa and mastercard. I'm not sure about amex and dinners.|||Call your bank and cancel the card! Magazine companies (and other companies) who harass the hell out of you to get you to buy something are dangerous to your financial health. You caved in to their calls. You will not get a 1 month subscription; you won't get anything but screwed. One month subscriptions don't exist. Magazine subscriptions are 12 month terms. So if they offered you a 1 month subscription, they are a scam. Call your bank and cancel the card.





Some online sites want the 3-digit CVV number, some don't. They can use your card at those sites that don't ask for that number and drain your account dry.|||Yes he can! While most companies ask for the security code on the back of the card when doing a transaction over the phone or internet a lot of companies dont and this could lead to unauthorized charges.|||Yes. He can misuse.|||They dont have the number so they can't prove it's theirs. So if anything goes bad, you just call the card company up an say they are using your credit card illegally.|||Yes, but that is why you are suppose to manage your info and watch your accounts on everything constantly.|||YES, You got SCAMMED.


For credit cards, CVV (last 3 digit code printed at back) number is not at all necessary.


Be alert: enable cellphone alerts via SMS for your credit card (talk to your bank)


Check your credit card via bank's online portal.|||yes, its probably a scam and they are going to drain your bank account of all your finances. cancel the card|||What else you expect them to know?Expiry is required to know that your card is valid.
