This company is a Fraud-Avoidance agency, and they're legit.They do the "fill in the blank" calls because they have several Credit Unions as their clients. Don't worry though, they won't ask for anything too invasive.Takes all of 3min of your time and the call will go something like this:*ring ring*Operator: Hi, my name is XXXX, how can I help you?Caller: Yes, I received a message about a possible fraud on my card, just returning the call for verification.Operator: Ok, could you tell me the last 4 digits on the card of the account please?Caller: sure, X-X-X-X. Last name is XXXXXXXX.(last 4 on the front of the card, no danger here, can get it off any receipt in your garbage)Operator: Thank you Mr./Ms. XXXXX, and can you verify the birth-date on the account please?Caller: Sure, XX-XX-XXXX.(No danger here, can get this off your facebook page ;p)Operator: Thank you Mr./Ms. XXXXX. I see here you have a transaction of $6.95 at Burger King, is this correct?Caller: Yes, sir/ma'am.(politeness never killed anyone)Operator: And another at Super-Cuts for $14.95, is this correct?Caller: Yes, sir/ma'am.(Then they'll ask the one they're really calling about)Operator: And also an overseas charge of $135.65, is this correct?Caller: Yep, those are all me!Operator: Alright, Mr./Ms. XXXXX, we'll go ahead and release the charge and that should be everything! Thank you for your time, and sorry for the inconvenience.Caller: No inconvenience at all, keep it up! Have a good one!*click*Now, If it turns out that last charge IS NOT yours, then the conversation will go much differently ending in a freeze on the account and a re-direct back to your Credit Union for a new card. But if everything checks out, then you'll be done with this call in no time. Failure to call them back will result in a freeze on your account "just to be safe" so best to just call them and get it over with :) I've never waited more than 24hrs before calling, so I don't know how long you'll have before they lock you out, but I've spoken with them a few times, I buy souvenirs from overseas and they get flagged from time to time. Never bother me though, at least I have comfort in knowing they're looking out for me. Hope this was informative! Good luck :D
Received a call about charges placed on my account. I verified through my bank that they use this company for fraud monitoring before calling the company back. They asked my name & birth date to verify identity & told me about 4 transactions that were attempting to process on my card, only 1 was legitimate. A permanent block is being placed on the card used & my bank is supposed to contact me within the next couple of days with more information. So this # 888-241-2440 appears to be a legitimate fraud monitoring service. Oh & when they called, they used my banks name not their own company name.If in doubt contact your card issuer to make sure they use this service, that's what I did, but again it appears legit.
Yeah, There legit. They work with banks/credit unions. My bank said since I already cancelled my car I didn't need to call them back.
They called me @ 8 am on a Sunday morn. When I called back they asked for my birthdate. When refused she offered 3 other forms of ID to verify it was me. One of which was my address (nothing secretive about that). The info she asked for and that she was able to give me reinforced that it is a legit company.She did not require Identity theft type information.
This company monitors debit card activity for credit unions. The company is called co-op financial aka falcon fraud. If you receive a call from this number all they want to do is confirm activity on your debit card for your credit union.
A man who called himself Rudy said he was calling "on behalf" of my credit union and said someone had tried to charge over $700 on a discontinued debit card. The last 4 numbers he gave me were indeed from a deactivated account. I asked what he wanted me to do, and he said nothing. The card was declined and no purchase was made. Seemed odd to me, and I asked, "Did you say you are calling from my credit union?" and he said, "That's right." He wasn't, of course. I thought maybe he was just trying to see if I was home. Could not say whether the call was legitimate or not. Didn't seem to serve any useful purpose.
This company is Falcon Fraud Services and is a legitimate company hired by credit unions to check for fraud. They ask for my name and birthdate, and then ask about two purchases made on a certain date. I verified that the purchases were made and that was it. In effect, it serves credit union and the purchaser.Nothing to fear here.BFS
