Epidote
To my surprise they told me to pay for the exam via phone where I would have to disclose my card’s details ?! Has anyone had a similar experience when booking their exam?
Sounds absurd to me that I would have to pay via phone by mentioning my card’s details.
Hi Epidote,
It's not as common these days, but you should be fine.
1. Check the phone number (make sure it's the same as on mba.com)
2. Make sure you call (no incoming calls, and don't let anyone redirect you to a different number)
3. Don't give your card details to a person (this was actually how it was done long ago, but nowadays payments are usually handled by some kind of automated system)
If it helps, people take the same
kind of risk when they give their card to a waiter at a restaurant (of course, some people refuse to do this).
