I Just Recieved A Call From 1-866-842-5208 (Fraud Watch), Is It A PHISHING SCAM?

I recieved a call from Fraud Watch asking for information about my card activity. I was instantly suspicious. I told them I would call them back if my bank verified they were indeed legit. I verified it with Northrim Bank here in Alaska. They do contract with Fraud Watch and the teller transfered me to the Fraud Watch at the end of our conversation.



The Fraud Watch operator told me a tale about where my card was being attempted to be used. YIKES! It turns out someone compromised my VISA debit card, THANKFULLY, the Fraud Watch folks had denied each of the various attacks on my card.



Afterward, I remembered that I had dealt with them before with another credit union that I do business with. This is a reputable company but that said I would still advise that you do the samething I did.



1. Get their number

2. Call your banking company and ask them to transfer you to their Fraud Watch (Since most banks and credit unions do appear to utilize their fraud prevention services they will likely say yes.)

3. Ask the teller to transfer you to Fraud Watch.

4. Talk to the friendly Fraud Watch representative. (Hopefully all is well for your card and the transactions are indeed yours.)



I hope this helps.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours these days, but I by no means
found any attention-grabbing article like yours.

It is lovely worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and
bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before.

I do not know whether it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your site. It looks like some of the written text within your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my browser because I've had this happen previously.
Thank you
