While it may have nothing to do with it, there is an old known scam where someone steals your credit card info, it's stored into a db, and when they want to use it (can be a long time after it's stolen), they call you to verify if it's still active. They obviously pretend taking care of your privacy, and mention only the last numbers. Meanwhile you think you've been taken care off and don't take any action, and they go to party with you cc.
Just saying, as it sounds really weird that they would call you but don't mention the name of the company. I've had a (legit) call from BCC (company that takes care of all cc's in Belgium) where they tell me that might card might have been abused for gaming purposes. They explained me how to verify it and how to file a complaint. Reason was that I used the card at a couple of online gameshops, and they specifically mentioned which ones were suspicious. I was good in the end though, and it might be just a difference practice up in the US where they are not allowed to do this.
