Block the number on your phone and add it to your carrier’s spam list. Keep your personal and banking details private; never confirm account numbers or social security info to unsolicited callers. If a call claims to be from Fifth Third Bank and asks for payment, hang up and call the official bank line you already have. Report repeated harassment to the FTC, FCC and your state’s consumer protection office, and consider filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Use a call‑blocking app, enable Do Not Call registry, and regularly monitor your credit for unauthorized activity. Staying vigilant stops scammers before they strike.
Upon receiving a call from this number, I was asked for someone named Kimberly Lanely, which is not me, and I'm unsure if this is a debt collection agency or not
For several days, this suspicious number has called me repeatedly with a machine on the other end, claiming my credit card balance is overdue, and attempting to pry my account number from me.
This is undoubtedly a scam, as they claimed I owed over $500 on a credit card payment and requested my personal details over the phone.
These calls apparently originate from a customer service department, likely aiming to alert account holders about negative balances and encourage them to deposit funds.
Fifth Third Bank is behind these calls, and their representatives can be rude and unhelpful.
Fifth Third Bank has been making repeated calls, sometimes up to five times a day, despite not having made a payment on my credit card in over a year, which amounts to harassment since they don't operate on weekends.
It's rediculous that you would get upset over an attorney's phone call, perhaps they simply dialed the wrong number, so find something else to worry about.
BE AWARE THAT THIS NUMBER IS A TOTAL SCAM!! If they continute to call, inform them that you are aware of the scam and will report them to the autorities.
They keep calling me, but whenever I answer, no one is there, and when I call back, a recording tells me its 5/3 bank, which is my bank, but they want me to enter my account number to verify my account, which I think is a scam, my bank told me it's not them.
We've experianced the same harrasment, have you found a solution to this problem?
The service provided by Fifth Third bank is subpar, characterized by relentless harassment, rude staff, and unresponsive complaint handling, making it advisable to avoid doing business with them to spare oneself significant distress.
My experience with Fifth Third bank has been utterly disappointing, as they consistently harass customers with incessant calls, despite complaints, and their representatives come across as insensitive and robotic.
By calling this number back with a blocked number, I wait for an answer and then hang up when asked to provide my phone number, turning the tables on their annoyance.
It's worth noting that 800-457-0839 and 866-450-0037 are indeed 5/3 Bank's outsourced collection department, located in the Phillipines, i deveolped a strong dislike towards them during my time working with the Manilla agents.
Over the past two days, I have been inundated with calls from this number on both my home and cell phones. Initially, I suspected it might be legitimate since they possessed both numbers, but the lack of a message led me to investigate further. Upon calling the number back, I discovered an automated recording that seemed to be partially copied from the actual 5/3 customer service number.
It's essential to take action against them, and I strongly encourage you to do so.
Caution is advised when dealing with entities like Fifth Third Bank, especially when they are evasive about their identity and purpose, as this could be a scam, particularly in these economically challenging times.
After calling the number back and providing the number they were attempting to reach, it was discovered that they were searching for an ex-husband and agreed to remove the contact information from their list, appearing to be a legitimate representative of 5/3.
Recieving calls on a sunday from this number is frustrating, especialy since i have a current mortgage and zero credit card balance at 5/3
I recieve this call many times daily, i check this site, and see many postings, i call my local bank branch, they say this is not them calling, i should never give any info and check with my bank if i think ther is a problem
Multiple calls have been received from this number without voicemail messages; upon answering, a woman with a Mexican accent claimed to be from 5/3rd and requested to speak with a husband
I'm extremly frustrated that despie being on the DO NOT CALL list, this number continus to call my cell phone multiple times daily.
My 10 year old son continously recieves calls from this number on his prepaid cell phone, it's absolutly ludicrus, how did they even obtain his number and why do they keep harrassing him?
Apparently, this caller is a debt collector who must verify the identity of the person they are speaking to before disclosing any information.
There alot of nonesense in this thread, comapanies can remove numbers from there system, but this company is violating FDCP laws, i recieved 15 calls from this number today, and they keep calling every sunday at 8am
A call was recieved from this number on a saturday morning in 2011, the recorded message had a strong british accent, it was obviouly a glitch in the system, the message said "This is Fifth Third Bank. Today is December 1, 2007.
Contrary to what others might think, this number is legitimate; it belongs to a collection group affiliated with Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, OH.
I used to work at 5/3rd and I know they dont usualy call unless your account is past due, they also dont have call centers in Mexico, so I dont think this number is legit, as long as they dont call after 9PM they wont be braking the law
Repeated calls, four times daily, from a supposed representative of 5/3 bank, would often go dead after being placed on hold
i recieved a call from this number asking for a guy i work with, they told me to tell him to call 1-800-457-0839, but i think its a scam because the local branch have access to all customer information...
