Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a call claiming to be RBC fraud or security can lull you into a false sense of safety. These messages often use urgent language and tiny test charges to confirm that a card works before larger thefts. Never share full card numbers, PINs, or passwords over the phone, even if the caller cites a “verification” code. Hang up and call the number printed on the back of your card or log into your online banking through a browser to review any flagged activity. Report the number to your bank’s fraud department and consider adding it to a block list. Staying skeptical protects your finances and identity.
If you notice this number on your credit card or debit card statement, it may be a sign of attempted fraud, as scammers often test accounts with small transactions to verify their validity.
Fraudulent activity was detected from ADV Parking 00529105h, attempting to withdraw 0.7 cents from my bank account in Houston, Texas, with the transaction originating from Vancouver, CA
An attempt was made to scam me using this number, which is also associated with a location in B.C.
The authenticity of the messages and call from the 844 number was questionable, as they appeared to be attempts to verify the functionality of my credit card, potentially preceding fraudulent transactions.
My experience with this number has been similar to what others have described.
A call was received regarding a potentially compromised RBC CC account, and when the caller was informed that the recipient wasn't the owner, they provided an automated number to call back, raising serious concerns about phishing.
Although I did not recive a call from this number, I ended up on this page because my credit card was also subject to fraude with one charge to ADV Parking00529105h for 0.01, followed by other charges to stores, it is unclear how this happend but I am wondering if we both got our numbers swiped at the same location
Two identical texts were received from this number, claiming to be RBC Fraud, asking to confirm activity, but the transactions mentioned were authorized and legitimate.
It's misguided to assume legitimacy for one person translates to legitimacy for all, especially when dealing with scammers who spoof legitimate numbers.
UPDATE - This is a RBC fraud number, they called me about a fraudulant charge on my credit card.
This number is not a RBC Visa fraud number, I'm reporting it to RBC fraud depatment.
It would be great if the bank had a easy way to verify their phone number, maybe they could put it on their website or on the back of the card
I'm wondering if this number is a scam, they claim to be the RBC security department, and there's been suspicious activty on my credit card, they need me to call back 'immediately' to verify, but it sounds like blah blah...
Urgent credit card message from RBC's security department
Claiming to be RBC fraud department, yeah right, just want to verify my credit card info for scamming purpose
