800-318-8433 / 8003188433

Yes this number is good to answer to. They called me letting me know someone was trying to open an account under my name. They had everything correct and They said it didn't go thought since I have an alert on my account. I am checking All 3 credit bearus tomorrow. Thanks to then.

This number called and left a VM giving a reference number and asking me to call back. When I called them back the agent said it was related to my credit card application, which I had made a week ago. She said the call was to verify my identity and check if the application was genuine. She went through a few multiple-choice questions to verify my identity, similar to the questions asked by credit bureaus when you try to get you credit report. And that was it. It sounded legitimate and even if it wasn't, the information I gave during the call is very unlikely to be useful for malicious purposes anyway.

yes it is target calling.A couple of months ago i received a letter in the mail from Progressive Auto Insurance that someone had accessed our personal information and had been fired from the company. The letter advised to sign up with experian to monitor our credit.Then today i received an email from Experian stating an "alert" that "Retailers National Bank Target" had made an inquiry into my credit.then just now I received a phone call from 8003188433 asking me about some new credit card application that was just filed two days ago, using my maiden name, my old address, a completely different driver's license, and some digits in my social security number switched around.target said they will remove the credit inquiry and they advised me to place a 90-day fraud alert with equifax (888-766-0008 or fraudalerts.equifax.com) and also to notify the FTC (877-438-4338). The fraud alert means that companies have to call me before looking into my credit.Don't know what happens after 90 days though...

Target calling to confirm a Red Card application.

FRAUD. just called the main Target line on their website and they said they are not calling people to verify account information anymore. I gave them my phone number and they said that a card had not been opened or attempted under that phone number. So this is definitely a scam. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO.

Yup, target verification...i applied last week. Fast, freindly and needed very little information...its legitimate far as i can tell.

It is NOT SAFE... I just called Target through a number they provided on my application. They told me this number IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH TARGET and they were going to alert their security team right away... So be aware of providing any information to these individuals.

They are legit. They contacted me because someone had tried to open a credit card in my name. They were very helpful, providing me with information on things to do and numbers to call to stop any further attempts (alert put on file with credit bureaus), law enforcement agencies etc. They also told me where the attempt had taken place, and provided me with some limited amount of information to help ascertain what info the perpetrators had at their disposal (and also what triggered the alert on their part - fake driver's license)
