Late last week, a familiar buzz sounded from 877‑253‑8964, and many users wonder if it’s a genuine fraud alert or a phishing trap. The consensus points to a third‑party fraud detection service that banks sometimes employ to flag suspicious card activity. The safest play is to never give personal details to the caller; instead, hang up and call the number on the back of your card or your bank’s official website. Verify the case number they mention and let the bank confirm any hold or replacement. Treat any request for full account info as a red flag, and keep a log of call times for reference.
I recieved a call at 7:20 am, which i think is ilegal to call at certian hours.
Initially, I thought this was a scam, but after receiving a voicemail about suspicious activity on my Pinnacle Debit card, I contacted Pinnacle directly. They confirmed that it was their fraud detection department and that my account had been flagged due to transactions with companies in multiple states. They were able to resolve the issue and unfreeze my card. Although it seemed suspicious at first, it was a legitimate call. In such situations, it's best to contact your financial institution directly to verify the authenticity of the claim.
Recently, I received a call from the verification center claiming I had a $50 charge on my debit card from the United Emirates, a location known for credit card fraud, so I denied the charge and didn't wait to speak with anyone, then I checked my bank account online and found no such charges, but it's worth noting that scammers often charge small amounts to test if the card works before making larger charges, so it's essential not to provide any account information over the phone and to instead hang up and contact your bank directly.
Multiple calls are received from this number daily, but the caller remains unidentified. Despite the frequency of these calls, the caller ID does not provide any information, and the calls are consistently ignored.
I suspect this is a scam, given that I monitor my transactions closely and see no reason for the call, which only appeared as a missed call without a message.
This number appears to be involved in fraudulent activities
I didnt answer the call, I called the number back and they told me someone attempted to use my debit card but the bank put a hold, so I had to call my bank
After verifying with my bank, I can confirm that this number is legit, it's the fraud detection department, and they were calling me about a suspicious charge on my card from Switzerland, which I didnt autorize, and I apreciate their efforts in notifing me.
Despite the post being from 2014, it's worth noting that this number is actually associated with a legitimate fraud detection company for visa debit cards, as my husband and I discovered when we dealt with them recently.
This number is a legitimate fraud detection center for Visa debit cards, which recently helped my husband and me avoid a potential issue; they only require your name and zip code.
Today's call from this number was quite concerning, as they provided transaction details and inquired about my involvement, only to advise me to contact my bank upon learning I hadn't made the transaction.
While local banks can be frustrating at times, they are generally considered safer than national banks.
Incidently, my bank is a credit union located in Conneticut, and I'm not sure why thats relevint.
At 8:30 am, I recieved an automated call from this number, claiming to be a third-party fraud agency, requesting my zip code to verify my identiy. I refused to provide any information and instead contacted my bank directly, who assured me the call was legit and my card had been frozen due to a suspicious transaction. I strongly advise everyone to be cautious when recieving unsolicited calls and never provide personal information.
Following a call from this number, a message was left, and after investigating online, I discovered that my card information had been compromised, prompting me to check my accounts and notify my bank
I verified that this call was legitimate, as my debit card activity had triggered a potential fraud alert, and I appreciate their vigilance
Upon receiving a call from this number, I suspected a scam, especially when they provided my bank name and debit card details, prompting me to hang up and cancel my card after discovering an unauthorized transaction.
Notably, my banking is done through a smaller, local credit union.
The caller advised me to contact my financial institution, which i did, and they confirmed the number, but i still think the call was fishy, especialy since their was actualy fraud detected on my credit card.
Fortunately, after contacting my bank, Fulton in PA, they confirmed that this number is used for fraud issues and were able to assist me in resolving the matter
A call was received claiming my credit card had unauthorized use, but this is a scam as I no longer have that card
Further evidence sugjests that this is some sort of group, perhaps based in Canada
I completly agree, its just another scammer
Being rude is not necessary, dude.
It is clear that this is a scam aimed at obtaining as much financial information as possible, with the website appearing poorly designed and lacking accreditation from the Better Business Bureau, and the questions asked being designed to gain access to sensitive information like credit card or bank accounts, making it essential to block the number and avoid engaging with them.
On Christmas Day, I recieved an automated call from a canadian companey, claiming to be trying to contact me, but the call seemed suspisous.
Apparently this is suppose to be a legit call, but I recieved it this morning and they ask me alot of question, thats pretty interessing that you take the time to search for a number you already know about, I think you might be one of the scammers
This is a legitimate automated call from my bank's fraud protection department, prompted by international transactions, particularly when my children make online purchases from abroad, leading to a temporary card hold.
After blocking the number, a suspicious mail letter was received, allegedly from CARD PROCESSING SERVICES FRAUD ALERT.
I received a call about a declined debit transaction, which was later verified as legitimate by my credit union, and it's likely that a gas pump skimmer was the source of the issue.
