972-331-9022

I received call from 972-331-9022 Call ID, 4/21/2010 after 10 PM, to my mobile phone. At the time, I was on vacation. The automatic recorded message stated, "This is to inform you that your ATM card has been accessed by some other person. For this reason we decided to suspend it. Please press one to be transferred to our security department to reactivate your account.” I deleted this message, and then hung up.

After I returned home a week later, I had several voice messages on my home phone stating, “this is the Fraud Department for Card Services … there were charges made to your card credit … contact 800-383-0618 immediately” (different number than home phone caller ID). These messages correctly identified my credit card company’s name. I did not call the number provided in voice message, but contacted the customer service number on my credit card. They verified there were fraud notes on my account, there were charges on 4/22 and 4/23, and I must verify I made the charges before funds would be released to: Auto Trader for 4/22 $150.99 and Amazon.com for 4/23 $1.00. I have not used this credit card since 3/2009, so Fraud Alert was activated when these charges were made to account. I verified these charges were not mine, card was cancelled, and a different card will be issued to me.

The number, 972-331-9022, was Caller ID Spoofed and actually is to legitimate business phone number. This criminal was using a phone number masking system that displayed this number, with the intention to defraud and use my credit. Most likely, these calls are sent over an international network and virtually untraceable.

I was thankful for Card Services Monitoring because I rarely use the credit card.
NEVER, EVER give out any information to a caller requesting your personal information or FALL FOR THIS SCAM.
