It is legit just checking to assure that usage of card was legitimate, asked for no personal information other than to confirm number message was left on. Our card was being used outside the U.S. they just wanted to confirm we were aware. No problem but could have been!
Yep. I have to agree with RickJohnson. The company is legit, and will call when a purchase is made overseas, but I have to wonder why "Terry What's her name" responded so rudely to one's post on this site. We as consumers have to be aware of all the scams and risks that go with online and phone purchases. Take an aspirin Terry and chill the hell out.
They do not ask for any information other than telephone number that they already called on. They know your bank and they know your most recent transactions without being asked. They called me after I had not used my card for 6 months and then used it about 10 times in 2 days. They work on behalf of Star, Nyce and several other companies that handle debit card banking. This would put them as subcontractors working on behalf of your bank (the risk taker in a credit/debit card transaction). Your bank employees are OFTEN NOT AWARE of the processes and companies that are in place to protect against fraudulent use so if questioned they make think it is not a legitimate call. (My bank president did not even understand exactly how checks were cleared.) If there are fraudulent charges on your account they can recommend that your card be shut off immediately. (This had happened to me previuously). It is easy to be suspicious these days when most 800 callers are scammers or telemarketers but I think this is legit.
This number was not a fraud. It belongs to a third party contractor for banks and credit unions. It was totally on the up and up. The lady asked me for nothing except my name....she didn't ask for my card number, my bank's name, nothing except my name. She then proceeded to tell me about my last six transactions -- the first three were fraudulent and the next three were legitimate. After speaking with her I called my bank and sure enough, there were three attempts overnight -- one for over $400! My bank told me that VISA refused the first attempt and automatically blocked my card from anymore transactions. So although I now have to get a new card, I still have my money! :)
I just spoke with my Bank and this is a company they hired to protect their customers. They call 7 days a week and later in the evening than when the Bank is open. So it is a valuable service. Also, they did not ask me for anything other than to validate 3 transactions I had done; the did not ask for anything other than my phone number that was on file with my Bank.
I received a call from 800-327-8622 today regarding suspicious debit card activity. I had never heard of my bank sending such (automated) calls before, so I called the main branch to confirm. The bank gave me the number, and it was accurate. I called the 800 number, and they said that there was "suspicious" activity due to me downloading one song off the internet, LOL! Oh well, it was legit, and I'm glad they're looking out for their customers.
I JUST NOW RECIEVED ANOTHER ANNOYING CALL FROM THE SO CALLED FRAUD DEPT. THEY FIRST APPROACH ME WITH THAT THEY ARE NOT TELEMARKETERS. I CONTINUE TO HANG UP EVERY TIME ONLY TO RECIEVE ANOTHER ANNOYING PHONE CALL FROM THESE PEOPLE. I DONT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT AND REFUSE TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION THEY ASK FOR! THEY ALSO ADVISED SOMEONE HAS BEEN USING MY VISA CARD WITHOUT MY CONSENT. GIVE ME A BREAK..... I HAVE NO BANK ACCOUNT...... GEEZ.... LOL
Received a call from this number yesterday, it proved to be a firm working for the bank, same as Wendy this a great service that is trying to to save us from debit and credit card fraud. This is one of those rare cases where an 800 number is legit.
Husband received call from this number asking about his last 5 debit/credit transactions. They did not ask him for any information, just wanted to know if he made the transactions. He was a little skeptical so, he called the bank and they verified that it was Visa calling him. Not sure what alerted them to call. Just always be aware of scams and never give your personal information out over the phone, especially to someone just randomly calling you. Always verify something like this with your bank.
I received a call from this number twice last night. I called my bank first thing this morning and was told that this was a legit call. I tried to purchase something from overseas, the bank flagged it, these people affiliated with Tony Falcone called me to verify. Sound really shady when you get the phone call from them though. They should work on that.
