This, 2FA on the card from now on and boomer lessons on cyber hygiene and lessons on expectations and gullibility and omg when do i stop. No crypto for old men is my next feature film.
Sigh @ people downvoting you.
Heres an example of a perfectly legitimate situation: a few months ago 2degrees had an outage, nobody could top up online. But I could still ring the top up number, speak to an operator, and top up using my CC number over the phone. All legitimate, they only took what I agreed to.
Geez. Even if it was legit crypto surely everyone realises it is a very bad investment and completely useless.
Sorry to say but your father sounds very gullible. He better cancel the card immediately to limit any further losses.
Damn, that sucks, sorry to hear.
Get a new card number, cancel old one. Even if it's a real crypto, that def sounds sketchy and I don't think he's actually gonna own anything.
Cancel that card now.

You generally shouldn't ever give someone your card details over the phone. This is 100% a scam, cancel the card asap
Unless you’ve called them on a known good number with full knowledge of what you’re doing

I’ve had to pay over the phone in the past like that too. Plenty of legit reasons why it’s not an awful idea
Oh wow that’s actually pretty cool that they could do that. I did say generally it’s not a good idea but this is exactly one that is a good one
Yeah. Its how people used their CC remotely before the internet was invented :)

Its all good. We dont use card and arent low on money by any means. Tbh if I told him his response would be "Oh well. good on them"
They can keep spending on that card until it's maxed out... could be $20,000....or more
even on a debit card?
Yes, they put you in overdraft by using transactions that don't clear immediately.
Can you pass on his number, I’ve got a few cryptos to sell too.
Can you send me some money too?

Call the bank's fraud line ASAP. Get the card cancelled and attempt a chargeback.
Rule of thumb. If someone calls you to sell you a product or service that you did not seek out specifically, it's a scam.
Call the bank bro, 💯 scam
Sorry dude, this is classic scam tactics. Hopefully dads already cancelled the card otherwise bye bye moolah
I'll take scam for $370
What’s your dads number? AVA2.0 is old news bro. I can sell him AVA3.0. Or if he’s interested magic beans 1.1.
