Watch out for callers claiming to be from Merchant Services and warning about mysterious Visa or Mastercard rate hikes. These voices typically request recent bank or merchant statements to “correct” alleged overcharges, but legitimate processors never ask for copies of statements over the phone. Scam operators often use generic names, varied agent aliases, and private or spoofed IDs to sound credible. If you receive such a call, hang up, verify directly with your known provider using official contact info, and never share financial documents. Blocking the number and reporting it to the FTC can help curb future attempts.
