Rec'd a call on my mobile this morning at 06:46 Central. Same as Pat...they said my mastercard had been deactivated and to press 1 for their security department...but didn't identify themselves. I disconnected the call and called my bank to find that the message didn't come from my bank.
received an automated sounding call on my cell from 423-473-8281 saying my credit card account had been locked. It said press 1 to be taken to customer service for assistance. When you do that the automated voice says, to verify transaction please enter your 16 digit account number. At that point I terminated the call, but I'm sure the next questions would have been my address, SS#, and mother's maiden name. When I called my real credit card company, ironically, they ask you to enter all the same information, most of it in the same automated voice. Very tricky!
