Upon returning from a 2 week vacation, l had a call on my voicemail on March 3rd from someone named Mary Lou requesting me to call 1-866-454-4339 or out-of-country 416-785-1331 regarding my CIBC VISA. These numbers are not associated with CIBC VISA, nor did CIBC VISA appear on my call display, therefore I am NOT calling Mary Lou back.
In my experience, credit card companies NEVER use phone numbers that are not publicly associated with them!
I got the same call. Someone who's name didn't come through very well and who couldn't pronounce my name well either. They said they were calling from CIBC credit card fraud assistance, or something like that.
Today - Sunday, I had a voice mail from James who said he was from CIBC credit card fraud response and left me 866-454-4339 and 416-785-1331 as call back numbers. The numbers look very different from the regular CIBC numbers so I googled the numbers and came up with this. I will be reporting this both to CIBC and the police.
Been doing some research and i do believe that number is connected with real estate fraud and also credit card or identity theft. If tracing the number it could be listed under a person's name that has already been scammed by these people. Because i do have a name and address but might himself be a victim, not sure.
