Claims Companies and Cold Calling

Hi There,
I was contacted last night by a claims company who suggested that I could claim back my outstanding balance on my card and get compensation because the bank had not informed me the credit limit had been increased- True or to good to be true? They then asked for my card details on the phone- scam?

    You can just as easily do it yourself and save loads. And NEVER give your card details to anyone, least of all a cold-caller.
