I had a phone call on Sunday night , the phone said MBNA calling. A very pleasant chap telling me ofa charge being charged to my account, I told him it wasn't authorised as I hadn't made any purchases. he started asking questions , so after maybe a minute I asked him his name , which he gave me, then i said i was hanging up and calling the MBNA fraud dept which i did, before i could ring out he was back on the line asking for some more details. I hung up again and the called the fraud department, (1.75 hour wait). they had not made any calls to me but could see that a purchase had been attempted on my card. the Question is how are spammers able to get MBNA phone number and use it to call me??
Most of these calls are made to thousands if not hundreds of thousands of random numbers and chance will mean some will be, as in your case, an MNBA customer.
barry, not sure now if he knew my name or not, I was so taken aback by the call I am not sure. after he rang a second time he then told me he would send an access code which he wanted me to repeat back to him, thats when i hung up again . the code did appear but obviously I didnt read it back to him, the attempted transaction was to Izettle for £2000.00
No the guy was a scammer who wanted the access code that would only get sent to your phone.... he would then enter it on his online transaction with itzer
scammer makes a purchase using your MBNA card number. (dont know how he knew your number and card). MBNA then check its you by send a code to your phone which has to be enetred online to confirm the transaction
Yes, agree about card details but not sure about 1485s phone number....
Of course it could be some rogue employee at a company he recently did a purchase with online
