888-230-6262 / 8882306262

I also got a call from this number shortly after applying for a credit card through BoA. They claimed to be from BoA, but how can I verify ? It was very phishy. Judging from the comments above and my experience, it is either1. really from BoA, but in a very non-professional wayor2. Phishing. but there should be insiders in BoA leaking info.

They said they were calling from financial services and that it was very important they speak to me first. They also left the number 18004417048?

Called my job and left a message. Said he was from Bank of America. I did apply for a credit card with Alaska Airlines and when I looked Bank of America does sponsor it.

I didn't get a call, but I received a letter supposedly from Bank of America requesting me to call this number, as it was their credit verification department.They were mailing me in regards to a credit card application which needed further documentation.

SHADY! so i called the first time, already suspicious. she asked for my ref. # that they left on my voicemail, so i repeated it to her. she said that the ref. # starts with a "3". that's not what they left me. so she asked for my name, and then i asked her what this call was for and why she wanted my info, and she was vague and just said that i might be a victim of identity theft, so i should check a credit report. i said okay, thanks, and i hung up. but i was suspicious.but i wanted to call again and see if they were consistent with what they say... this time, an "estina coles" in delaware (i asked for her name and location at the end of the convo), asked for my ref. #. i made one up by starting with the number "3", but she said that it wasn't pulling up. so i asked how many digits it was, and she said it should be 10 digits. so i pretended like i was looking for the rest of it, but the first time i told her the 10 made up digits, she would quickly say "it didn't pull up". so i asked her to repeat the digits she put in, but she said, "i erased it already". so i repeated it for her again, and right away (didn't even sound like she was typing or anything), and she again said, "didn't pull up. can you give me your social security # so i can pull it up that way?"yeah right! so i said, "um, actually i don't see why you would need that to get my information". so she said she could pull it up with my name. i gave her my fake name, and she again right away said, "i can't pull it up". so i asked her her name and location, and said i'd call back if i figure out a ref. #.obviously a fraud and def. fishy.

We got the same call from this number and got the same run around. The reference number the woman left was a digit too short and the name she gave for the business was Columbia Community Credit. She seemed familiar with our area and asked if we lived in Riverdale, MD. Anybody else living in the Washington, D.C. area? I'm not sure if these people are local.

I got a call too, I applied for a schwab card. I called back the 'offical' schwab number listed on their website and they referred me to this same number. Seems legit as far as I can see

Not a call, but received a letter thanking me for applying for the Bank of America World MaterCard (never applied). We are making every effort to approve your application; however, we need your assistance. They go on to tell me they need to verify my information and ask me to call 1-888-230-6262. I am guessing they have added a tactic to there scam.

Received a message to call them back and use the reference number provided. Called the next day and spoke to a female, provided her with the reference number and she informed me the call was in response to a credit card application that I completed. She asked me if there was a credit card company that I had that she could verify and I asked her if she needed the credit card number, which I informed her that I would not release. She replied that she just needed the company and how long I was an account holder. Company information was provided, I informed her that I was not releasing any other credit card account information. She did not request any. She verified other information on the credit card application and upon doing so, she informed me that the credit card application was approved. She did not push for any personal account information and was quite polite. I'll wait and see if the credit card arrives and if not, no loss.

Received a call from this #. Was suspicious but I had in fact just applied for a credit card the day before. Called the bank with which I applied, and they instructed me to call FIA Card Services, which I did. Amusingly, my reference # was not long enough, but I was able to give them just my name and confirm my zip code, and they then confirmed that the number I was told to call was one of their numbers. Because I got the FIA Card Services # through my bank, I trusted the people I was talking with and was able to complete the transaction. I would recommend doing the same for anyone else who is concerned. (Many banks choose to issue the credit cards with the name of their bank on it but actually contract with FIA Card Services to issue/manage the credit card.)
