Voicemail followed an auto-blocked call at 2:54 PM. Male voice posing as 'Cornelius' from 'Capitol One' (or Capital—unclear) regarding my card, urging contact. Instructed to dial 800... (awkward delay, as if scanning numbers) then 955-7070, or the card's back number, available 24/7. Poor audio quality. Script seemed somewhat formal but off overall. Issues: I own no such card; it mimics a targeted message, not sales pitch; strange pause after '800'

Expert Opinion
Surprisingly, many people mistake this 855‑522‑7663 line for a random scam when it often belongs to Capital One’s application‑fraud team. The call typically follows a recent credit‑card application and asks for personal details to verify identity. Before sharing social security, date of birth, or a driver’s license, hang up and call the number printed on the back of your card or log into your online account to confirm the request. If the caller cannot provide a verifiable reference number, treat it as suspicious. Always use official channels, monitor your credit reports, and place a fraud alert if you suspect misuse.

I looked up Capital One's official fraud line (not this one) and confirmed the number's validity. They said yes, it's genuine, and explained the license request due to high fraud rates requiring more checks. Still hesitant about reapplying, though glad it's not a scam.
