Late last week, callers from 800‑318‑8433 popped up on many users' screens, claiming to be from Target about a credit‑card application. The number is indeed listed by Target as a legitimate line for RedCard and other store‑card verifications, but scammers also spoof it to harvest personal data. If you weren’t expecting a credit‑card offer, treat the call as suspicious. Never give out your Social Security number, driver’s license, or bank details unless you’ve initiated the contact through the official website or the number on the back of your card. Hang up, call the main Target customer‑service line, and verify the request. Watch for pressure tactics and unsolicited requests for payment or fees – those are classic red flags.
