Expert Opinion

Surprisingly, the same eight‑digit line appears in reports of both legitimate privacy‑card services and alleged fraud. The number is listed as a contact for Privacy.com, a reputable provider of virtual debit cards, yet many users see unfamiliar "PWP*" merchant descriptors and assume a scam. If you spot a charge you don’t recognize, first verify the merchant name in your Privacy.com dashboard before calling back. Never give out personal data to automated prompts, and consider blocking the caller if no live agent is available. Keep an eye on your statement, dispute unauthorized amounts through your bank, and use two‑factor authentication on any linked accounts.
