US Bank fraud alert: That 1‑800 number is a scam!
Summary — +18002549874
Expert Opinion
Earlier today, a wave of reports surfaced about the 1‑800‑254‑9874 number appearing on letters that claim to be from US Bank’s fraud department. The number actually belongs to a Texas‑based funeral home, and scammers use it to lure people into disclosing personal information. Never call a number listed on an unsolicited letter; instead, locate the official US Bank contact info on the bank’s website or the back of your card. Verify any request by logging into your account directly, and report the incident to the bank’s fraud team and the FTC. Block the caller and delete the correspondence to avoid future traps.
