Comenity Bank call scam? How to protect yourself

To verify the legitimacy of the call, I dialed the number back and also contacted them directly using the web; they requested verification of personal details, which is standard for addressing credit card fraud.

If I were to recieve a letter of that nature, I would take two prudent steps: firstly, I would verify my credit report with all three agencys to check for any hard inquires, and then I would contact the bank using a published, known phone number to confirm whether they had indeed sent the letter, as someone could be trying to open credit cards using my information.

Following my application for the NFL Visa card, I received a letter from Comenity requesting additional information, which I found surprising given that I had already been informed that I would be notified by mail.

My experience with this number is identical to that of arpboy, with the same outcome

I received a letter stating that I had applied for a Victoria's Secret credit card, which I did not do, and I have a credit lock in place to prevent unauthorized applications.

Although the letter appeared legitimate, the application was found to be fraudulent, and the bank confirmed that it was a scam and took necessary actions.

It seems like these scammers are getting dumber by the minit, insted of telling me to vist comenitys offical website, they told me to do somthing els.

After receiving a letter, I contacted the number and was asked for personal details by the woman who answered, including my name, address, and social security number, but when I questioned the letter's legitimacy, she suggested verifying the number online or through the credit bureau.

Just because this number is registred to Comenity, doesnt mean all calls from it are legit, have you never heard of phone number spoofing, whats your purpos in being here anyway?
