It is useless to them because they need either the three digit code on the back or the email attached to the card to use it. So don't give them ANYTHING **** up and notify the real Discover Customer Service number on the back of your card.

Got a call from 800-950-7542 indicating that my Discover card may have been used fraudulently. I called the Discover 800 number, 800-347-2683, and spoke to an account representative. The rep indicated that Discover does not use 800-950-7542 and that the call may be****ociated with some scam operation.
I got one for two consecutive days from this number as well. So went to check out my discover acct online, they haven't sent me an email abt any fraud issues, which usually they would had it been legit. So I don't think of calling them at all. I'll wait for my email alert, besides I don't see any discrepancies in my online activities.
I got a call from this number this morning (7/20/09). An automated voice said it was Discover Card Fraud Prevention and they wanted to verify charges. Discover has done this in the past (though with a live person); so I****umed it was legit. The recording asked if I had made a $1 charge for UPS today. I had not. I was then transfered to a live person who listed four charges from today, including the above and another for $800 and so****ing for PayPal. I said I hadn't made the charges, and they said they would close the card and I would receive a new one in 7-10 days.I called 1-800-DISCOVER and the rep told me their fraud prevention department HAD NOT called me, and they did not see any of the charges mentioned in the call I received. The first call did not ask for any personal identifying information that I remember (e.g., card number, SSN, etc.); so I'm not sure yet what the scam is.
I have gotten 2 calls so far today and ***g up on both. I called Discover and they have no reocrd of their Fraud dept making a call to me. It is a scam and do not give any info out. If oyu have any worries please call your credit card company direct.
I received a call from 800-950-7542. They said they were from Discover. Asked if I had made a $1 charge for so****ing to do with music...I had not. They then proceeded to ask for my card number. I asked how was I to know that I was talking to someone from Discover. He told me to call the 1-800-discover number on the back of my card. I did, and Discover was extremely helpful. I was a scam, as no such charge was made to my card. I gave her the number, and hopefully this scam will be stopped.
They left a message asking to call them back. When I called, the guy did NOT ask me for my credit card number, which was reassuring. He wanted to know about our last three charges to our card: a) a $1.00 charge to JC Penneys, 2) a charge online to Zappos and 3) a charge to XYZ. I told him that the JC Penneys and Zappos charge were bogus, but the XYZ was good. He told me that our Discover credit card appeared to be compromised and they would cancel that card number and reissue a new one. I'm not destroying my Discover card until I find out for sure that it is canceled or I get a new one. If all this is true, then I am glad that they are on the ball.
