My bank called as they had red flagged a suspicious charge on on my credit card. The sum was $0. The bank rep told me that this often flies under the radar and doesn't show up in some records and it indeed did not show up in my transaction history that i could see online in my banking details. But yeah the point was exactly the same. The fraudsters testing whether the charge goes through and the card is alive/valid.
- todd8 5y agoDid you verify that it really was the bank calling and not a scammer? I get calls and texts from “credit card fraud departments”, “banks”, “service warranty departments”, “Amazon billing”, “Microsoft security”, “Social Security Administration”, “IRS”, and others frequently; 95% are scammers. The most amusing to me are the ones from “Microsoft” to alert me that they have detected malware on my computer.
- ensiferum 5y agoYes actually I think my bank sent me a message and asked me to call them. But either case it was all legitimate and my card was renewed.
