Call claimed to be from my banks credit card security department. Then asked me to enter my credit card info. Complete scam. I hung up and called my bank to verify.
I received a phone call from a recorded announcement stating that unauthorized parties had accessed my account information and that my credit card had been canceled please press one for security. After pressing one, I received another recorded announcement asking me to input my credit card number. At this point, I pressed “0” in an attempt to reach a live person with no success. The recording again requested that I input my credit card number and I hung up.
The link to report this to the Federal Trade Commission is https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
On 1/10/09 at 3:09am, call from Lafayette Credit Union saying my ATM card was being suspended. Same # 312-416-0294. None of related to any financial institution I deal with.
So thanks goodness for this site linking this suspicious and intrusive call.
Congress never has addressed this kind of thing. Guess there isn't any money in it for them!
