Texted me
FreeMSG FNB Alert
Wants me to call them and verify $200 PayPal on card 2245 then they Called me left message for Brian Jay Newberg. Not me.

I received a text message with this on a nonexistent card (at least not mine):
FreeMSG SBW Fraud Alert 800-237-8990 Verify 10Aug ¤139.00 AMAZON PRIME on card 5663. Reply V if Valid or F if Fraud-Case Ref# 197563 Txt STOP to OptOut

Will not respond as it does not make sense.

Yes they also called me too and their initial message was mumbled and impossible to make out. Turns out they are Legit. They are a third party firm hired by paranoid banks to verify any card transaction might be suspicious . Which today is basically anything Large, anything very small and anything from out side the U.S. But they did verify.

I didn't catch a name. It was a robot telling me they'll help with my back taxes. 🤣 I hung up.

I got called October 12th and started a terrible saga of scamming. He claimed to be fraud help from my bank and gained my trust and tricked me into sending thousands

i actually called my bank Crews bank aka Charlotte State bank and that is the number they have listed for the fraud number for the debit cards. I called it and it is an automated number. Took care of it , my card was actually locked and i had to call the number to get it unlocked

I received an email and Text that said I had a suspicious charge against my card from my credit union. The 1 800 237 8990 was given as the number to call and I called them to see what was happening.
Everything felt fishy as they answered with "Fraud Center" only and I expected to get the name of the bank at least. So I hung up and contacted my bank.
I did in fact have a suspicious charge for $2500 on my bank account which we had certainly NOT made so I got my card canceled and will need to go back up to the bank to get a new number.
However, they told me they had in fact sent both the email and text and the number 800 237 8990 was where they have this stuff sorted out.
I told them that this shows up on line as a scam number (Here) and how the entire thing seemed fishy as well.
Hopefully they will clean up how it is done but I just wanted to assure anyone looking into that particular number that it is good.
And no, I am not one of the scammers, but I always recommend you contact your institute from independently located numbers just in case they have slipped a bad one in that looks exactly like the good messages.
I have a real problem trusting much that comes over email. There are some really good scams out there and it is hard to really know.

My wife and I both received a text message at 05:30 am directing us to call 1-800-237-8990 to contact our banking institution Fraud Center to verify $110.00 SAMS MEMBERSHI with reference to the last 4 digits of a vaild debit card numbers. Also option to reply V if valid, or F if fraud. I suspected fraud immediately, and contacted bank with the correct number. They had already detected this fraudulent attempt and blocked the transation.
Coincidently, a good friend had this same situation with an American Express card on the same date and time!
