It seems the number +18773754982 is a bit of a mixed bag. Some users have confirmed it as a legitimate number from Synchrony Bank, often used to notify customers about new credit card applications, especially if there's potential fraud. However, others have flagged it as a scam, with callers attempting to extract personal information. The key is in the context: if you didn't apply for a credit card, it's likely a scam. If you did, it could be a genuine notification. Always verify by calling the official number on the back of your card or the bank's official website. Don't give out your Social Security number or any sensitive information until you're sure. Stay vigilant and double-check everything.
It seems unusual for a bank to send texts from a number previously owned by someone else.
My experience with this number has been legitimate, as I had applied for a payment plan through Synchrony and received a corresponding text; however, it would be less suspicious if they clearly identified themselves in the message.
A text about verifying an American Eagle credit card application led to a call with a suspicious individual claiming to be from Synchrony Bank's fraud unit.
Beware, as this is a scam; do not respond to the number provided in the text message or share any personal information, as this could lead to unauthorized transactions, such as the $1400 purchase that was made from an Amazon account in San Lorenzo, CA.
Like others have said, this is a legit number, i applied for a walmart credit card and got a text from them, i think its nice of them to do that
In a follow-up to my previous post, I found this phone number to be legitimate. It was related to a QVC card that was fraudulently approved in my name, and contacting them allowed me to cancel the card and an associated order, taking further steps to secure my credit and file a police report.
A text message was received, inquiring about a QVC card application, which was not made, and further investigation revealed a potential fraud attempt
Fortunately, this call was legitimate, as I had recently discovered a fraudulent Walmart credit account opened in my name, and the representative from Synchrony Bank was able to assist me in resolving the issue and placing a fraud alert on the account.
This is a legitimate notification from Synchrony Bank, the provider of retail store credit cards, which I received after applying for an Amazon card.
This number sent a message inquiring about a Lowe's credit card application, providing a reference number and an opt-out number, which appears to be a scam
I had the same situation, a text asking if i applied for a jcpenney card
I just recieved a text mesage saying somthing about a JCPENNY card, which i think is a scam, im going to check my credit report tomorrow
I got a text message asking if I had applied for a Wal-Mart Card, and if not, to call back with a reference number.
This appears to be related to a narrative or witness statement.
