Close - it's fraud. Or at least it was fraud in my case. and the # is actually legit - you can make them verify it by asking them about how you have used your card. If they're legit, they'll tell you the last charge, etc. (see my post below)
Ok so let me get this straight - everyone on here as one thing in common - they are being called by this number and being left messages saying it is Bank of America. One *smart* person actually called and found out there was something going on with their accounts. And you all are afraid to call it because you think it is not legitimate? That does not make any sense. If there was fraud on your account - HOW would you expect to be notified if not by the company? If it were me, I would be all over it bc I would be afraid for my credit to be jacked up!
Also - a lot of companies are based out of a particular region - in this case, 302 is a Delaware area code - however their call centers which accept inward calls are 800 numbers. That is why you call the number you are given in the voicemail instead of calling the number which appears on your caller ID back.
called me three times last night when I finally answered a woman told me she had been trying to reach me because someone was trying to apply for a Bank of America American Express card in my name over the internet. She connected me to another number (an 866#)so I could set up an identify theft case, once connected a guy ask for my soc # and I told him I wouldn't give it out over the phone, he said he understood because they called me but I need to go on line and talk to someone to get the case started. Today I called Bank Of America and they told me that they DO NOT offer American Express credit cards and they had no ap with my info on it. They DID NOT ask for my soc. #.
received a call today from 302-458-0973. I called the #, it referred me to an 800# which I called. The recording stated, "card services". It ended because I didn't have a 5 digit extension. I have no idea who this is and I have no cards with any such company.
I called that number and tried a few extensions at random. Ext 22310 got me the voice mail for John McIntyre. Ext 22311 got me the voice mail for Mike Fetman (?).
Both recordings said they were with Bank of America.
