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.

Your warning is greatly appreciated, and I must say, the tactics used by these scammers are reminiscent of a card commercial where a woman's card is used in London without her knowledge
Despite initial skepticism, this company appears to be legitimate, serving as a clearinghouse for banks to investigate fraud, and they verify identities by asking for names and the last four digits of social security numbers.
Beware, it's a scam; the same hackers post seemingly legitimate messages on this site, so it's crucial to ignore their calls and contact your bank.

Apparently, my debit card was inactivated by them on Christmas Eve, and I have to wait 7 to 10 business days for a new one, which suggests they are legitimate.
