The analysis of the user comments and caller information reveals a scam operation targeting individuals with fake credit application verifications. The callers, often claiming to be from Synchrony Financial or other banks, attempt to obtain sensitive information such as Social Security Numbers or birth dates. The tactics used by the scammers include leaving voicemails with fake application notifications and asking victims to call back or provide personal details to verify their accounts. It is essential to be cautious when receiving such calls and not to provide any sensitive information.
Synchrony bank, the company behind various store cards, made a call from this number for ID verification regarding a card I had opened the previous day
This call was from someone I dont know, and it's been listed as a scam.
This number made an unautorized call to our overseas phone, and has been blocked and reported.
A caller claiming to be from Synchrony Bank inquired about a check I had submitted and requested my birthdate for verification. The request seemed unusual, especially since it was made immediately. I informed them that I had already spoken to someone else and received the necessary paperwork. The caller persisted in asking for my birthdate, so I ended the call and they did not attempt to contact me again. What is alarming is how they were aware of my bank transaction.
two calls were made, and a voicemail was left the second time
The caller claimed I had recently applied for a PayPal credit card, despite having one for years, and threatened to close my account if I didn't provide information, prompting me to hang up.
During the call, the individual claimed that an application for an Amazon credit card had been submitted, but my credit bureau accounts were frozen, and they requested my address and the last four digits of my SSN, which, given my existing Synchrony bank cards, I initially believed, but after researching the phone number, I discovered it was a scam and promptly contacted my credit bureau to place an alert on my SSN.
I recently have a charge on my Best Buy card, i was told it was using my SSN or zip code, luckily i didnt pick up the call from this phone number
Clearly, this is a scam alert.. they actually called me and told me that i tried to open this account. when i said i never applied for it they tried to get me to verify my address, phone number and social security number. i refused to give them my ss# and they said they were opening a fraud case.
The caller ID indicated GE Capital, but the call went unanswered, with no voicemail left; this behavior is characteristic of a scammer.
