Card scam

[Andromeda]

I have just had a call.
The number reported was (011) 219 7291. The person claimed to be from ABSA and that there had been multiple attempts to debit my credit card with a suspect amount. I was asked to confirm whether the data he had was correct:
My full names
My ID number
My credit card number

(Coincidentally, my wife has had a number of attempts to debit her card, which is not a linked card, by Apple. We don't know why it is unsuccessful. I mention this. He then says "is that " and he names my wife including her middle name, her ID number and our physical address. But he claims it is a linked card, which it is not.)

He then asks me for my CVV number. I refuse. He then claims that he will stop the card and reverse a hell of an amount and that I should get a new card from the branch tomorrow. He again asks me for the CVV number and I again refuse and the phone promptly goes dead.

I have never ever used this card, so he could only get the information from .....?

So, watch out for (011) 219 7291. The person does not speak with a South African accent!
