A flurry of reports links the 800‑438‑2475 number to fraudulent Fidelity‑style texts. Most callers claim account changes, rollovers or loan activity, yet victims consistently find no such activity on their real Fidelity accounts. The pattern shows spoofed caller IDs, urgent language and a request to call a short code, which are classic phishing tricks. If you receive a text like this, verify the alert by logging into your account directly via the official website or known phone number—do not use the supplied link or number. Never share personal or banking details over the phone unless you’re certain of the caller’s identity. Report the message to your carrier and to the FTC to help curb the scam.
It appears that anyone endorsing this number as legitimate is likely attempting to deceive others. Following verification with Fidelity, it has been confirmed that 800-438-2475 is not associated with them and is, in fact, a scam.
A recent email caught my attention, prompting me to contact 800-438-2475 immediately if I didn't request the correspondence.
Beware of fraudulent activities associated with this number!
I recieved a text from a number saying my FIDELITY bank account information had been changed, but when i checked my account, everything was fine
Beware of this number as it falsely claims to be associated with Fidelity; verify the official Fidelity contact information to avoid potential scams.
After receiving a suspicious text message about a changed Fidelity password, I researched the phone number and found this page, which suggests that the message was likely a scam, particularly since I do not have an account with Fidelity

Like many others, I've been receiving identical messages from this number, despite having no account or affiliation with the company, which clearly indicates a scam.
The experience was identical to previous ones.
After receiving a call claiming my password had been changed, I contacted Fidelity's customer support, only to find that they had no record of my account, leading me to suspect a potential scam or virus, particularly since I had recently filed my taxes with HR Block and received a suspicious link from a game website.
After changing my password, I received a suspicious text from 29943 claiming to be from Fidelity, which prompted me to call the provided number. However, the representative only knew my name and the company, leading me to realize it was a scam and hang up to contact the actual Fidelity number.
Fidelity should really look into these scam attemps, its getting annoying
