Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in a wool coat, the call masquerades as Target to coax a full card number. The message’s vague reference to a missed digit check is a classic phishing cue, and the request for the complete number sidesteps the safer last‑four‑digit verification most retailers use. Hang up, avoid sharing any more info, and contact Target directly through the official website or app to confirm any legitimate outreach. Consider blocking the number, flagging it as spam in your phone, and reporting the incident to the FTC. Enable two‑factor authentication on your accounts to add an extra shield against future spoofed attempts.
