Mastercard lock scam calls—how to protect yourself!
Summary — +18442029073
Expert Opinion
Unfortunately, these calls are fraudulent scams pretending to be Mastercard. Callers claim a card is locked and pressure you to press a key or share numbers, but legitimate banks never ask for full card details over an unsolicited call. Never provide personal or financial information to unknown numbers, and hang up immediately if the request feels urgent. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to the FTC or your carrier, and monitor your accounts for any unauthorized activity. Staying skeptical and verifying any alerts through official channels helps keep your data safe.
