Select Benefits
Called and asked me to verify a 16 digit number on either a Visa or Mastercard in order to verify my address

I was contacted today by a company called " Select Benefits", the man I spoke with told me I had made an online purchase and had won a $100 Visa gift card. He went through the whole pitch about needing to get a confirmation number so that I would be the only person who could use this "gift card". The call went verbatim like this:

Scammer: Hello this is Select Benefits, you have been chosen to receive a $100 Visa gift card for making a recent online purchase with your credit card.

Me: Great! How do I get the Visa gift card?

Scammer: I just need to verify your mailing address is (read my address) now in order to get your confirmation number for the Visa gift card I need to verify your 16 digit number on your plastic card and the expiration date please?

Me: What do you need my credit card number for if you're sending me a Visa Gift card?

Scammer: We need it to verify your mailing address. The first 4 dights verify your name the next 4 digits verify your last name and the next 4 digits verify your mailing address and the last four digits verify the city and stat. Can I please have that 16 digit verificationn number?

Me: I need to speak to your supervisor first.

Supervisor: Yes ma'am you have been selected to receive a $100 Visa gift card all we need to do is verify your Credit Card number.

Me: iIm not going to furnish that information until I can verify who you are. Do you mind if I ring in a third party on the line to verify who you are (local authorities of course)?

Supervisor: Sure do you need the FBI 's number?

Me: No I have the number for the FBI in my local area thanks. Where are you located and what is your first and last name? And your number?

Supervisor: Select Benefits. You will receive all our information when the Visa gift card comes. Let me verify that 16 digit number.

Me: I asked for your name and company contact information.

Supervisor: James Macmill, 13922 Fayer Street, East, NY 11212

Me: Alright I will be contacting the local FBI or proper authorities to verify that you are a legitimate company and then I will call you back personally.

Supervisor: You can't call this number back. You keep asking all these questions and thinking this is a scam, well I don't want to talk to somebody who thinks this is a scam.

He disconnected the call.
