I got a phone call about joining a health card benefit card and I get $200 in free gas. I gave my account number and social to them and they told me it would be a total of $4.95 charge. I thought that was ok but then I got more charges from other companies for services I didn't authorize.
The VIP health card place sold my information to these other companies. I had to call each number individually from my checking account.
I have turned all these companies into the BBB as well as reporting them on here.
My fiancee called on my behalf and EZ 1 rate couldn't find his information to cancel until they suddenly found a different way and the charge from them was for shipping and handling on something he never asked to be sent and it was, of course, non refundable.
The lesson? DO NOT give your info out over the phone even free gas isn't free.
