(888) 337-7253

Said they were from Discover and calling about an application

We got a letter appearing to be from Discover stating that an application with our information was recently submitted and they want to verify more information. The letter directed us to call 888-337-7253. The letter looks VERY legit but something didn't seem right so I called discover at the number on their website. We had no accounts or pending applications under our names or ssn. So for grins I called the number and it has a recording that sounds like you're calling discover. A lady came on shortly after asking for the reference number on the letter. When we read it to her twice, she then says "it's not pulling up, can i have your SSN?". Right then I knew it was a scam. I just hung up on her and called discover. They didn't seem too concerned but I know people will fall for this because everything looks legit on the surface. Hopefully people who get this will google the number and find this information. Craig
