This sounds like an urban legend, think of the cost, time, and low probability os success for this scam. There are so many other ways for scammers to get your card number. It would be far easier to place a crook into a food establishment and skim cards there.

Also, a credit card does not use a PIN. PINs are used on ATM cards.

Plenty of credit cards use PINs also. Not just restricted to debit cards.

I never used it, but my CC had a PIN for cash advances.

You must not have a credit card. They have pins.
