FRAUD ALERT: "Credit Card Frozen" - call back # 303-325-7300

[draggar]

My wife got a text message yesterday stating that her Visa card was frozen and she needed to call the bank at 303-325-7300. She asked me about it and I told her to take down all the information and to call the bank directly with the # on her card (we only have Visa check cards now).

She called the bank and her card was not frozen (good) so they transferred her to the fraud department so she could give them the information, which they did.

The text message was simple yet the callback # was 303-325-7300. If you get a similar text message, voice mail, or call, DO NOT CALL THEM BACK. Call your bank directly and verify that your account is OK and then have them transferred to their fraud department so you can give them the information.

(Yes, I am posting this here to take advantage of the forum's high SEO so this DOES get indexed by search engines so if anyone searches for the phone number, 303-325-7300 they have a better chance of coming to this thread and seeing that it is an attempt at fraud.

*Good info always use the phone number on the back of the creditcard to contact them.

That's what I told my wife to do and she did. She's been known not to think at times so I'm glad she now runs a lot of things like this past me first - especially when it comes to phishing attempt emails.

I got one of those & just ignored it because I knew my card was not frozen & my banks are based out of where I live. Good idea to let other people know.

Thanks for that heads up, Draggar. I see almost daily spam regarding Visa and bank accounts closing at establishments I never ever signed up for even.

If the scammers/spamers only directed their efforts and energy to a legal enterprise, they'd be rich. And sleep better.

Thanks for that info.

Today I received at least ten of E-mails supposedly from Visa. Seriously who falls for that

If no one fall for it, they won't be sending emails.
