But after putting in my card number (again didn't think odd as when I call the info line it requires that) they asked for the expiration date which I did find strange. So I hung up and called my bank directly. Finally got through and sure enough the other call was a scam. So to be safe I've cancelled that card. Hopefully the Chapters Indigo gift card I got will last until my new card comes. There are some new releases I want tomorrow.
Just another reminder to be super cautious with your card details. The scammers are out there and not just online.

Yeah it can happen to anyone so be super careful I never do over the phone unless I do a direct call to my card's issuer even bill companies I tell them I will pay them online. It's just takes once dishonest person working for any company. At least with online everything is secured and encrypted and no live person sees it unless the site gets hack. No true safe way out there just safer ways.
