How can you access your credit card account with only the number?

You cannot.

The minimum information that you need to use a credit card (in this case, online, since you do not appear to have the physical device) is the NUMBER and the EXPIRATION DATE. More savvy online operators now ask for the CARD VERIFICATION CODE (CVC/CVC2/CVVC/CVV/CVV2/CVD/CSC) in addition to the other three numbers to ensure that the physical device is in the control of the owner.

If you have lost your card, get the customer service number from your statements or from the issuer's website. From there, you can call in and provide the NUMBER plus other identity information and they will send you a new card.

If you are trying to use a card number that you "found," you will not be able to do so.

Is it unsafe to check credit score online?

Checking your own credit will not hurt your credit score. But be careful when choosing a company to obtain a credit report. Some companies will email the information, which can be intercepted by identity thieves. It's a good idea to go with a service like Identity Guard, which provides a secure login and password to view your credit instead of just emailing the report. You can get it here at www.creditscorehero.com Keep your password safe and secure!

What should you do if it get a Phone call from someone claiming to be world financial network national bank?

Ask them for their name, contact number, who they are trying to contact, why, and if you feel there is a valid reason to talk to them, call them back on their main number listed below.

Whatever you do, make absolutely sure you record every part of your communication with companies like this. Keep notes and a log for your records of all discussions, letters, phone conversations, etc. that you exchange with them. That way you can compile a list of phone numbers, addresses, people, issues and how to resolve whatever issue you may have with them, or that your lawyer or law enforcement may have to resolve with them.

Obviously, if they are breaking the law, you have every right to take action, including contacting legal representation as necessary. If you're being illegally and unduly accused or mistreated, exercise your rights against these "Goliath" organizations and fight back!
