It seems like +18004800186 is a number associated with a widespread scam involving fraudulent credit card applications. Users report receiving letters from various retailers, like Walmart, Lowe’s, and others, thanking them for applications they never made. The letters often request a call to +18004800186 to provide additional information, such as a Social Security number, to complete the application process. Many users have flagged this as a phishing attempt, designed to steal personal information. If you receive such a letter, do not call the number. Instead, contact the retailer directly using a verified phone number from their official website. Also, place a fraud alert on your credit report with the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to protect yourself from identity theft. Stay vigilant and cautious with your personal information.
Apparently TJX Rewards called me, it sounded really suspicious!!
I recently recieved a letter from Dick's Sporting Goods, which was unexpected.
They called me, dont know what they wanted though
A letter was received from Lowes, GE Capital retail bank, requesting additional information to process an application, and the representative had access to sensitive information such as the last four digits of my license number.
GEMB's handling of accounts is subpar, as evidenced by the plethora of complaints online, with many citing instances of fraudulent charges and removal of mailing addresses from their records, ultimately leading to unresolved issues.
Apparently, this is a line used by credit servicers, as evidenced by a call I received today to confirm a credit card application I had submitted the previous day, with the company utilizing GE Creditors as the card's distributor.
Correspondence from LOWE'S/GE Capital Retail Bank Creditor requested a call to the same phone number, despite having no affiliation with Lowes or any outstanding accounts.
Receipt of a letter from AE Outfitters, Inc., related to a GE Capitol Retail Bank credit issue, was puzzling since there is no account or credit application history with American Eagle Outfitters.
