This company IS a legitimate company. I JUST got off the phone with my Credit Union because I received a phone call from Falcon. I didn't answer it because I didn't know who they were but I did look up their number. I then called my bank and my first words to my banks customer services rep were " Have you ever heard of Falcon Fraud Monitoring Service?" They said yes and that they are employed by the bank to watch for unusual activity on your Debit cards. If you are unsure, call your bank. My card was used in South Dakota on a Best Buy web site. I live in Michigan.
I went to my credit union and they verified this was their fraud unit so the number was legitimate in my case.
I don't know why people are saying that this is fraudulent because they don't ask for personal information only the case # and last 4 digits of your Social Security. They know exactly what the activity was so how is that a scam? If you think about it, if the "scam" already knew what was going on with your card, that they'd already have that information, they don't need you. It's legitimate, don't listen to the other clowns and call back that number so they can unblock your card.
This is a Credit Collection agency. DON'T GIVE THEM YOUR INFO. They're computers have left messages saying they are calling regarding an important "business" matter. The recording then goes on to say "Please call back to have your number removed from our list." I'm just blocking you.
I'm thinking it's legit. Mid-afternoon many hours ago (it's midnight now) I spent $3.50 at the college cafeteria. When I got back to my desk, my phone was buzzing with this number and I ignored it because it's unknown to me. And I don't have VM set up. Going home, I tried to buy some shampoo at WalMart and the card reader would not accept the card and I had to leave my stuff with a long line behind me (luckily I don't embarrass that easily). I tried paying my phone bill when I got home and it would not go through. My bank balance says I have a certain balance and the available balance being $3.50 less than that (the cafeteria charge). Something happened. Was it the cafe charge? I don't know. I buy stuff there all the time--it's not out of the ordinary. Was it the drive-through girl who tried to "forget" to give me back my card last week and after I got my food I said, "My card please?" Who knows? MAYBE it's Falcon that are scammers and tried to get me on the phone and conduct a fraudulent transaction at the same time and THAT triggered a block on my card. Now I have to figure out this mess in the morning when I have NO TIME for this. But I guess it's there for my protection. It just happened at a BAD TIME.
YEP, IT'S LEGIT. I called the number to see how much they'd know about me just from my telephone number and verification and they pulled up my information and knew all about my transactions. Someone really did steal my card information. Just SECONDS after my cafeteria purchase, someone tried to spend $109 at CVS over 20 miles away and that triggered a block. The CVS store number they gave me is just doors down from the drive-thru where the girl gave me the receipt but failed to give back my card until I asked for it (she put it down on the counter instead of giving it back).I'm glad I got up for that coke. If I didn't, the thief's purchase would have gone through. We have the store number and now they can investigate. I have to get a new card now, though.
Yes, the place is a legitimate fraud protection agency. I received a call from them a few hours after I tried making an overseas debit card purchase which was declined. I called them back after verifying here at 800notes.com what the number was. They only asked for my name and last four of my SS number to confirm my identity, and I let them know I was trying to make a purchase. They said thank you for calling back, and that was it :) They even told me what my credit union was without me prompting them, so they had that information already.
I received a message from this number. They told my receptionist that they were calling from my credit union to verify some possible fraudulent bank activity. I called my bank instead of them. The bank verified that they do have a company that does this for them. My own bank pulled up my account and saw notes regarding the questionable purchases, which I was able to verify, so they removed the hold from my account. I never called this number back but handled everything directly with my bank.
That is completely false. It is a fraud monitoring service for 800+ credit unions. We never ask for the last digits (aka your cvv code) on the back of the card. If you call us, to verify who we are speaking with for security purposes we may ask for the last 4 digits of your ssn. This is per instructions from YOUR credit union. You may not always see the suspicious activity that is occurring because if the transaction is declined, of course it's not going to reflect on your bank statements. Doesn't mean that someone wasn't trying to use your card number. But I guess ignorance is bliss. Good luck with that.
