Watch out for unexpected calls that claim to be from Capital One. Never share your Social Security number, credit‑card details, or login credentials over the phone unless you initiated the call using the number on the back of your card. If a caller asks for personal info, hang up and call the official customer‑service line yourself. Keep records of the call—time, name, what was requested—and report suspicious activity to the FTC or your bank’s fraud department. Using a separate, verified number protects you from spoofed scams and helps stop fraudsters from exploiting legitimate brand numbers.
This number is on the back of my card, i've had it for 5 years now and it's legit

This number is associated with Capitol One's customer service, and when you call, the automated system guides you through the process of accessing your account and reaching a representative.
It's worth noting that the posted number is actually the customer service number for my credit card company, which I contacted in August 2017 to request a credit line increase.
Frankly, i dont see why every body is confuse about this.
They called me about consolidating debt, but they wanted to charge $2,000.00, when I stated I wanted to get advice and check on them, the person hung up on me, my advice, dont take their call, it's got scam writen all over it!!
Although this number is legitimate, being associated with Capital One, it has been spoofed by scammers.

I can confirm that this caller is genuinely from the Capital One fraud department. Having experienced fraudulent activity on my account, I received an email directing me to their website and was instructed to call this number, which I did. The representatives were helpful in resolving the issue and unlocking my account during our conversation.
This number is associated with Capital One, but scammers can spoof it, so if you receive a call, hang up and call back using the number on the back of your card to verify the authenticity of the caller.

Kudos to Kim for recognizing and avoiding a potential scam. Her actions serve as a good example for others to follow in similar situations.
A representative from Whitman & Associates claimed I had a judgment against me for an HSBC line of credit, which I don't have; they threatened to seize my assets and contact my family and employer; the provided phone number appeared to be associated with Capital One, but it was likely a scam
The caller claimed to represent Capital One and requested information about my credit card. I declined, citing uncertainty about the caller's authenticity. She then instructed me to call 800-227-4825 and provided the ID ARA725, helmed by Helen. However, I couldn't verify this number on Capital One's official website, and upon contacting them, they seemed puzzled as well.
It's essential to contact your bank immediately and stop payment on your debit card.
I was contacted about an alleged debt of $1668.00 from a 13-year-old Capital One credit card account; however, Capital One confirmed the account is closed
