The analysis of the provided comments reveals that the caller is likely associated with M&T Bank, a financial institution. The comments mention receiving letters about uncashed checks and being instructed to call the provided number. The callers' experiences vary, with some finding the process legitimate but fishy, while others are more cautious due to the request for personal information like social security numbers. However, most callers report that the representatives only asked for rudimentary info like name, address, and phone number. It appears that the caller is attempting to contact individuals about unclaimed funds from old accounts.
The caller's request for sensitive information, such as my social security number, seems dubious at best
Following a letter I received, I called and waited on hold for approximately 15 minutes before speaking with a representative who verified my information and explained that the funds were from an old mortgage account, without requesting my SS#
After verification with the local branch, the call seemed legitimate and only requested basic information such as name, address, and account number
A letter supposedly from M & T bank was received, stating a check had not been cashed and prompting a call to this number
Despite seeming legitimate, the process appears suspicious and the phone number might be outdated. The automated menu differs from the main M&T number, and the numbers provided in the letter don't match my account number. I suspect these are internal tracking numbers. When I called, they asked for my SSN after failing to find my account, which raised more suspicions.
A letter was supposedly sent from this entity
A letter was received requesting a callback to the mentioned number, prompting a verification check with M&T Bank
A letter was received claiming that money was owed, and this number was provided for a callback; however, it appears unrelated to the actual M&T bank, and a report will be filed with their Frauds Division
I was notified by M&T bank regarding an uncashed check and was instructed to contact a provided number to resolve the matter.
I recieved a letter from M&T Bank regarding an uncashed check from 2012, I plan to visit my local branch to report this incident aswell.
