Expert Opinion

The 844‑682‑4502 line is most often linked to First Data’s fraud‑prevention service that banks outsource for card alerts. When you get a call or voicemail claiming suspicious activity, verify the call yourself by hanging up and dialing the number on the back of your card or your bank’s official website. Never give personal info to an unsolicited caller, especially if they ask for your full SSN, PIN, or password. If the call sounds off—poor grammar, urgent pressure, or a request to click a link—treat it as a possible scam. When in doubt, contact your bank directly; they can confirm whether the number is legitimate for that specific alert.
