/// Hopefully we'll all never have to use it, but......///
A bit too late in my case, but as soon as the guy (who was masquerading as the security dept of my bank) asked for my CVC I smelt a rat and hung up. Then I rang my bank on the Card number and stopped the card. That of course is still bloody inconvenient as it deprives you of a card until the next one comes through the post which can take a week or more.
Incidentally my bank is not yet on the list, but I'll contact them and demand they join. Although I have heard that you can give the bank a password which they must use when they answer - not sure whether this is correct or not.
