Same thing happened to me: the case number they gave me didn't go through, so they sent me to an operator who asked me for my name (which I stupidly gave), and then asked for my card number, which tipped me off that they were scammers.
I received a call from this number but did not answer. They left a voice mail saying it was Visa Fraud Protection and that was it. I called them and they asked for the case number left in the voice mail (no case number left) and when I said I didn't have one they asked for the card number which I did not give out.I called my bank and they said there was nothing on my account flagged and that I should not give them any info.
This is a VISA Fraud prevention number. In my case I grabbed the wrong card and put in the wrong pin. After realizing my mistake I used the correct card, however my failed two attempts triggered this response. I stopped before the third simply because I did NOT want them to turn off my card which automatically happens if you attempt it a third time. Since they call a Skype VoIP number, there is no way for me to answer the phone and let them know it was a mistake...of course by not attaching a cell phone number with the card it helps protect my personal privacy. Never associate financial / banking information with a cell phone. (I know most of you reading this find that hard to imagine...)Word of Advice, If you try twice (debit transactions with a Visa or MasterCard) and fail, stop, DO NOT ATTEMPT A THIRD TIME, call the number on the back of the card before you make another attempt. The third failed attempt automatically turns off the card.They could be calling you because your card has been stolen, however in my three experiences, I was either traveling or fat fingered my pin number, so for me to date this has been more of a hassle than it is worth.They are contacting you because you had trouble using your card (wrong pin) and they have flagged your card as a potential for fraud, its not necessarily turned off. To avoid problems, if you do not want to answer their call, simply call back the 800 or 888 number on the back of your card. Your financial institution will verify you who you say you are and let Visa know that everything is okay. This is NOT a bill collector.I put Unknown, only because the list did not include Fraud prevention on a Debit card. Even when things are okay with your financial institution, VISA will do this and say they are protecting you. I always call the number on the back of the card and let my bank/financial institution deal with Visa.
This is Visa, I had called Visa when my card would not work because of an input error I commited. Visa was trying to call me at the same time. It was nice to know they were calling quickly after I screwed up and set off an alert, much better than just de-activating the card.
Why are there so many idiots that spread misinformation. This number is from Visa and its legit. I found there was a fraudulent attempt to use the card and the automated system told me to call Charles Schwab toll free number which I verified online was Charles Schwab since its on their website. AGAIN...THIS IS A VISA FRAUD PREVENTION AUTOMATED SYSTEM....IT IS LEGITIMATE. DON'T IGNORE IT OR YOUR CARD WILL BE BLOCKED.IDIOTS PLEASE DON'T KEEP SAYING ITS A FRAUD.
Legit. I am a Schwab customer. I called - they verified some info - they confirmed fraud and canceled the card and told me to call schawb to get a new one. I called schawb, the confirmed that visa had taken the card out of commission, confirmed that there was a declined charge on the account, and reissued a new card. If you are getting a call from that number - call it back or call your bank.
Was legit - called Schwab and they said it was visa fraud protection. So I called 888-277-6280 and they will give you the case #. VISA fraud will ID you by your calling phone number (provided it is the one registered to the card) they don't need name or credit card # - ask them for the case #. With the case # I then call Schwab. Schwab then put me on a 3-way with visa fraud and yes there was a problem. Schwab is great!
Visa Fraud prevention on behalf of Schwab bank. Confirmed w/ them why they called (two different gas authorizations in same day/different times/same location). Just speak to an agent (hit "0" when it asks for card #) if you are wary.
