WARNING: Christmas Delivery Scam From the Better Business Bureau

Unfortunately, this has happened so much that the Better Business Bureau has issued a warning about this scam to which so many people have fallen victim.

When anyone asks you for your credit card information, you should always assume that it is a scam. Their intent is to steal your numbers or identity to get access to your money. Here's what you should know.

According to Yahoo, here's the whole scam:

In this scam, targets receive a call from a delivery company saying a package is on the way. Right on cue, a delivery man arrives with a gift basket sans card. (Some make an excuse, saying the card is being delivered separately.) Before the delivery man leaves, he asks the target to pay a nominal "verification fee" in order to receive the basket. Alternately, she'll need to provide a debit or credit card in order to verify she's of legal drinking age, as there's wine in the basket. The delivery man plugs the info into a handheld scanner and — ta-da! — the scam is complete.
