I wouldn't give my credit card # out to someone who called me, no matter who they said they were.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Your intuition is correct, omnis. Scam. Or at the least, a poorly run company with which you should not deal.
Could be legit but the fact the she is getting pushy about it doesn't seem right.
I asked if they had a sirius link for the promotion, so I could fill it out online and they get the referral, she she was not listening at that point.
There is no reason she would need the 3 digits on the card. That is for online only.

It sounded like she was logging into Sirius, and doing it, so I was like "send me the link, and I can do it".
I'm on the phone now with Sirius radio. They said that is an OLD promotion. And he said he doesn't ask for the 3 number code for phone orders. He is digging to see if there is a new promotion that just went out, but he seems to think it sounds a bit fishy.
Hmmm. When I get off hold with Sirius, next call is to North American to see if they have a concierge service.
serial post,sorry.
After much digging, it looks like they do have an offer like that, but it is with American Airlines, and you use your frequent flyer miles to pay for the it, and you, in essense, buy a Sirius Gift Card. CRAZY. OK, gotta dig up the paperwork from North American Van lines. Arrgh. Distracting me from packing. But must get to the bottom of this.
even if true, probly an offer that is a hassle to cancel, and with the moving youll be busy and forget and suddenly owe sirius lots of money on that card.

It's actually for any time the merchant does not have physically have the card, online or phone. I used to work somewhere where most of our business was on the phone and the cc companies REALLY wanted us to get those numbers. If we didn't, we could still process the card, but we got charged a higher processing fee.
BUT, I would be hesitant to give my cc number to anyone I wasn't sure of.
