For_Immediate_Release:
United States of America (Press Release) December 5, 2008 -- The unsolicited text message I received read as follows:
Capital One Alert: Your CARD has been DEACTIVATED. Please contact us at 801-649-5020 to REACTIVATE your CARD.
I called the phone number and it was an computerized voice recording asking to reactivate my card or to change the pin number. So I went with it since I DO NOT OWN A CAPITAL ONE CARD. I entered 4123456789012345 and for the expiration I put 1111 and for the security
code on the back I put 123. It verified that my card had been reactivated. How odd in that that is an invalid card number and that I don't own their card.
I then added a FRAUD ALERT on my credit file by calling: 1-800-525-6285.
Apparently, this scam is out to collect credit card information, PIN numbers etc. Please be forewarned!
