I got a call from this number and it IS Priceline. Someone did use my credit card number and charged $303 to my card. I didn't think it was valid until I checked my credit card on-line and saw the transaction. I think the Priceline transaction was a test and they thought it went through and then used my number the next morning to try to charge $1500 on-line to another merchant. Luckily I had already alerted my credit card company and they refused the charges. Do not ignore!
Received phone call from a heavily accented man saying that he was from Priceline Fraud department and I needed to call them back immediately to confirm my recent purchases. He gave some sort of reference number but was hardly understandable and repeated himself multiple times (as if he had lost his place in his script). I called Priceline directly and they stated that my tickets were confirmed and they had no phone call on file from them. This is a SCAM and they are fishing for information about you -- scary that they knew I'd purchased tickets and my take off and destination airports! Also calling my credit card company to keep an eye on my account!
I didn't understand where he was calling from. He was looking for my daughter and told me something about booking Hotel from Priceline. He read me the last 4 digit of the credit card that was used. He want me to confirm the card expiration number which I didn't not give him. He read me my address and also wan to confirm if it was correct. I asked him to hold then ask him to give me his number after I can find my wallet to get the card to confirm the expiration number with him. He gave me 2 numbers. 845 441 8454 and 845 441 8455.
After hung up, I checked my credit card online. Indeed there is a pending charge over $700 from PCL*PRICELINE HOTELS. Immediately, I notified my credit card issuer to cancel the card.
I'm wondering why if he already succeeded with the charge, why ask me to confirm other information which alert me to lookup.
Got a call from this number 203 441 8454. Didn't give any info as it did seem fishy. I called priceline at 877 477 5807 to verify the call. It was verified by notes in their system that I hung up on the fraud prevention department. Yes the call center is in India or maybe the filipines but it was a legit caller. Verified priceline fraud prevention.
The same thing happened to me yesterday as replied below.
A very heavy accent Indian guy called me at 6 am telling me my flight ticket didn't go through. So he needed my credit card information to verify with my bank. If I don't provide information he needs, Priceline will cancel my flight.
The accent of this guy was too heavy to understand. I never talked with any customer service rep like this.
Please note:
1. He has your flight confirmation number
2. He has your ticket number
3. He knows your cell phone number
4. He knows your name
5. He knows your LAST 4 DIGITS OF CREDIT CARD NUMBER.
But DO NOT believe him!!!!!
When I say let me check with my credit card company, he hung up the phone.
And never call back.
Same thing happen to me as soon as i finished purchasing a priceline.com ticket. I work in I.T. security. I asked who he was calling from and he said Priceline verification center. He had:
My Flight
My Name
My last 4 digits of card
and so he asked if I had made a purchase. I told him 'uh huh' he didnt say Yes because i recently found out about the other fraud going on recording peoples voices. he then let me go.
I am trying to call priceline and find out if i have to be worried or not.
I called my card company and locked down my card immediately.
