(800) 327-8622

this number has called several times and left messages that someone was trying to access my atm account and that it was extremely urgent that i call them. This seemed a little weird to me so I called my bank and they told me that my bank accounts were fine and they advised me that the phone number was not a legit one and not to call it.

I have received 2 calls from 800-327-8622 in the past 2 days. Yesterday I did not recognize the number and let it go to voice mail where an empty 2 1/2 second message was left (just dead air). Today, I picked it up and they hung up immediately.

History: Yesterday, after Googling the number, I read many of the comments above (Mike and others), and decide to call the number back. After giving the company, Card Services - part of the Star Network, a phone call they could not locate my phone number or even under my last name and state. I then decide to call each and every bank that I have cards with and find that none of my cards have any suspicious activity on them. I then call the 800 number back, just to confirm that they have no information under my phone number or last name, and indeed they did not.

THIS LEADS TO 2 CONCLUSIONS:

1) Card Services, a Star Network Company, is a valid company that does valid work protecting people against credit card fraud on behalf of its member banks and financial institutions.

2) Someone is spoofing Card Services phone number in an attempt to further defraud the people that it calls. There is no Terry Falcone at Card Services (I verified that with them on the phone).

ALWAYS CONTACT YOUR BANK OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION TO VERIFY THAT THE CALL YOU RECEIVE FROM CARD SERVICES AT 800-327-8622 IS A VALID CALL. YOUR BANK WILL KNOW IF THEY USE CARD SERVICES TO HELP PREVENT CREDIT/DEBIT CARD FRAUD.

NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER OR OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE IF THEY CONTACT YOU ABOUT CREDIT CARD FRAUD. IF THEY ARE LEGITIMATE, THEY WILL ALREADY HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO HELP DETERMINE IF THE CHARGE WAS FRAUDULENT OR NOT.

This is a scam. Do not give any personal information to these people. I received several calls from this number saying that there was a security problem with my credit card. I checked with my bank and they said that this was indeed a scam. Luckily, I did not give out any information, but I wanted to warn others about this fraudulent bank and 1800 number.

My bank called me to verify account activity on my credit/debit card. I called the bank back and confirmed that this was a legit call FYI.
