Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a call that pretends to be your credit‑reporting agency, promising a lower interest rate on a card you never applied for. That scenario matches the bulk of complaints about 888‑397‑3742. Callers typically use a spoofed Experian ID, claim affiliation with “Credit Card Services,” and pressure you to press keys or share personal data. Red flags include no prior relationship, vague company name, urgent language, and requests for Social Security or card details. Hang up immediately, block the number, and verify any legitimate issue by contacting the official institution through a known phone line or website. Reporting the number to the FTC or your carrier can also help curb future spam.

Beware of fraudsters claiming to represent Experion's fraud department, offering fake credit card deals to steal personal information
The scammer has cloned a legitimate number; if you return the call, Experian won't have any record of it, similar to the credit card services scam, which aims to lower credit card rates; a scam that should be avoided
Warning: even though this number claims to be associated with Experian's fraud department, the caller's intention is to commit fraud by offering better credit card rates; the goal is to obtain personal information for identity cloning, and it's crucial to note that Experian is a credit rating service, not a credit card provider.
