So I screwed up.

I got a call claiming I had fraudulent charges on a regions debit card, this has happened before but it's usually an email that should have been my first clue. Why did I pick up the freaking phone?

They discussed if I wanted to cancel the card or just the charges, there was no Email taking about charges, nothing in the bank account but I had dental work today and I guess I was still loopy.

But then they asked for my card number and halfway through me reading the card my freaking dental fog cleared up and I realized a bank doesn't need your card number.

They only have the first 8 numbers and the expiration date. The person I share the card with doesn't want to cancel it because it's a massive pain updating all the automatic charges and what not. They think they can't do anything with just the first 8 numbers and an expiration date.

So am I safe to keep the card or can they get me with 8 out of 16 numbers and an expiration date?

I feel so stupid but the Bank isn't open and I have nobody else to ask.

Also they called literally 20 TIMES after I hung up so yeah scammer
