Fake Credit Card Bank Fraud Dpmt

Received call from (855) 206-8773. Heavily accented man pretends to be calling from the Fraud Department from Bread Rewards Credit Card, to inform me of suspicious activity, multiple transactions out-of-state in Miami over $900. I hung up and called the real Fraud department and there were no charges, and the phone number (855) 206-8773 is not theirs. Totally bogus. I locked the card.

    in the past 3 months I've had fraudulent charges, I received SMS messages each time from a different fake bank's fraud department (with my real bank's name and logo) and we're correct in the amount. I called the number once and it was a bot asking my correct name and my correct card number but I hung up and two of the three times I notified my bank on the telephone number I usually used, they knew nothing of it but I had no choice to wait another two and a half weeks for another card which interrupted payments owed by me. I'm now going to use for online purchases or paying bills anything but my main debit card such as CashApp or PayPal that I have to manually put the money leaving only a couple dollars. law enforcement is having a hard time keeping up with the criminals and the technology being used nowadays. Here's an article for anyone who's interested. Thank-you and stay safe. 🏦 Modern Scams: How Criminals Are Targeting People Today Scams have changed dramatically over the years. Criminals no longer have to physically walk into a bank or meet someone face-to-face. Today, many scams happen through phones, text messages, emails, and fake websites. Common Types of Digital Scams Smishing (SMS Phishing) Smishing uses text messages to trick people into clicking fake links, giving away personal information, or sending money. Messages may pretend to come from banks, delivery companies, government agencies, or online services. Phishing Phishing uses emails or fake websites designed to steal usernames, passwords, financial information, or personal details. Vishing (Voice Phishing) Vishing uses phone calls where scammers pretend to be banks, law enforcement, technical support, or other trusted organizations. Quishing (QR Code Scams) Quishing uses fake QR codes that lead people to dangerous websites or fake payment pages. Warning Signs of a Scam - A message creates panic or demands immediate action - Someone asks for passwords, security codes, or banking information - A person insists you keep the conversation secret - You are told to pay with unusual methods such as gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers - A link looks suspicious or does not match the official company website What To Do If You Receive a Suspicious Message 1. Do not click unknown links. 2. Do not reply to the message. 3. Do not call numbers provided in suspicious messages. 4. Contact the company using the official website or phone number you already know. 5. Save screenshots and keep records of dates, phone numbers, and conversations. 6. Contact your bank immediately if money or account information may be involved. Remember Scammers use technology, psychology, and urgency to manipulate people. Staying informed and taking a moment to verify information can prevent major financial and emotional damage. Sharing knowledge about scams helps protect families, friends, and communities.
