OKAY SO I WAS UPSET CAUSE I GET CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER ALL TIME AND THEY HAVE CAUGHT FRAUD ON MY CARD SEVERAL TIMES! THEY ARE LEGIT THEY ARE REAL AND THE REASON WHY THEY ARE FOR THOSE CERTAIN BANKS IS BECAUSE THATS WHO THEY ARE LINKED UP WITH DUHHH HELLO....THE LAST TIME I HUNG UP ON THEM THEY BLOCKED MY CARD SO I WOULDNT DO THAT... THEY HAVE ALL YOUR IMFORMATION NON LEGALLY BECAUSE YOU  SIGNED SOMETHING BEFORE YOU CAME ABOARD THE BANK. THE BANKS SAY THAT THE CARDS ARE NOT ARE PROPERTY THEY ARE THERES SO IF THEY SHUT IT OFF THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT! BUT IDK I LIKE THE TRANSACTION REVIEW DEPARTMENT THEY CAUGHT FRAUD FOR ME SO BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT THOSE ARE WORKERS THAT ARE KEEPING YOU SAFE!

They actually arent a scam I asked my bank about it. The lady at the front desk had no clue about it, but when she called her manager over I asked her and she said that its called star newtwork and it just a security setting to help prevent fraud happening.

Later on that day I found out I really did have fraud on my card! I wished that I would have talked to them the first time when they called me.

I live on the west coast. Our credit union is headquartered on the east coast. When my husband goes to Baja (Mexico) on business, they always call about his "spurious" transactions (Yes there IS a Costco in Tijuana) They act like it's the edge of the earth or something - sheesh, people.

Legit bankcard service...left a voicemail on my homephone via automation and I called them back as soon as I could. Only name and phone number was exchanged (no accounts or SSNs at all; would not have given them out anyways), person confirmed the transactions I did make myself the previous few days, and all was well.

It is a scam.  Verified by bank.  Fishing for info.  They can get last digits of NY card from a receipt.  If you talked to them if gave any info call bank immed.  Found someone had applied for a loan in my name with my info at my bank
;

Sorry, but no-one should ever give personal/banking information to someone who cold calls, no matter how genuine they sound.  The simplest and safest way is to contact the bank yourself and check with them.  People should never 'phone back a number given by a cold caller as they will be waiting with the right answers.

Yes it is legit.  I always think every phone call is a scam but I did call this one.
Nice lady just asked the phone number and my name.  She read off my last 5 transactions and I OK'd them.
Best to call this number back.

They only collect data. They pay the bank for your info. Don't play with them and tell your bank that you're no for sale.

This practice by the bank is not ok. I called them back and they wanted my number and my name. I told them to email me, and they said they don't email. I have let my bank know I will not answer any questions for any company other than the bank.

It is your bank calling to review possible bad transactions on your account.  it is legit.

Just finished talking with a representative. VERY PROFESSIONAL. They had detected several gas station transactions within minutes last night (I tried twice at one station then went to another when the card worked but the pump did not). All they wanted was to verify the number they had called and my name, and went over the last five or so transactions. Very professional and I'm very glad they're looking out for us. They said several gas station transactions within minutes sends up warning flags. They did not ask for any account numbers or access codes or anyth8ng like that.

I received two calls from this number. My bank (not a credit union) verified it's legit. I checked my past transactions going back two weeks and there is nothing unusual. I've not been able to get through to an actual person at this number but I will keep trying. I have changed phone ID and ATM code.

i also got a call from this company..seems someone had charged a trip to austria along with hotel and train ride..luckly i didnt have the funds for it so they denied it..they called me and verified that i wasnt the one who did it..they read back my purchases i made earlier..they just verified my name my purchases..they asked it i wanted them to cancel the card i said yes..they then told me to call my bank and request a new card..which im gonna do monday

I got this automated message today about fraudulent charges possibly made on my account.  I was skeptical.  I checked my bank account immediately and sure enough there was a charge made in UK for 157$.  I called my bank and representative noticed another charge was also made in Canada for $100 but the card was declined and canceled by my bank because it was suspicious.  NO MORE DEBIT CARDS FOR ME.   The awful thing is... my husband NEVER uses his debit card.  He Always uses cash.  This is my fault.  He will be upset.  He uses cash just for this reason.  Thankful for this phone call.

Not a scam# they just caught a Walmart purchase that is not mine but from my area - not sure how they knew it wasn't me, but glad they did.

I got the call from the 800 number.  I was very cautious at first.  I googled the number and the Transaction Review Department and found several forums such as this one.  I ultimately called the number back and they are legit.  They did not ask me for information, they had my information and asked me to confirm.  Anna asked if I made a purchase this morning on my card.  I did not.  She asked if anyone had access to my card and if I had it in my possession which I did.  She placed a block on my card and suggested I contact my bank to get another card issued.

Part of a fraud campaign targeting numerous financial institutions.  Note the pattern of shill postings all claiming the number is real - an obvious giveaway.

The large number of phony posts claiming the call is real come from some con artists spamming the site to try to fool people.  There is a similar pattern to other fake calls claiming to be from Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, US Bank, Wells Fargo, RBC, PayPal, etc. all with the same shill postings:

U R ALL FULL OF S***. There isn't any THIRD party company WATCHING your money or your transactions. If they are , then they are doing it illegally and trying to get your information so they can steal your money.
DON'T TRUST ANYONE ON THIS SITE.

Why does it seem that every one of these shill posts sound nearly identical?

Yes, I too was worried if this was an actual REAL call and it is --after checking this out with my bank I called and as others say it is a 3 minutes top call.  I had several small transactions that flagged it as a possible set up for a larger huge draw on me from another ----but lucky for me I was all of the small draws as I never seem to carry cash anymore just my card.......however I do have a friend who did get their account HIT (money taken) and that was how it was done---when the friend did not notice the small draws then the out of country thief raised the amounts until the bank account was cleaned out.  Very glad these guys 800-622-1361 are out there watching this activity for us all.

I've received calls from this company more than once.  If there is ANY strange activity on my account, or in a strange area, they call to verify!  I'm thankful my credit union uses this service and makes sure no one is stealing from me!!  They've NEVER asked for account info....but for those of you who "can't get ahold of your bank first".....just call the number back.  If they ask for your account info or anything else personal DON'T GIVE IT TO THEM!!  You are allowed to say NO!

Better no access to your money for two short days than no access because someone cleaned out your bank account.  Sometimes travel will trigger it them to stop your card.  It's annoying especially when you are on vacation, however, their is a solution.  Just use your card at an ATM and put in your number. That sometimes removes the precaution.  Other times,  yes, you have to call and have it removed.  This is a legit number.

FRUSTRATED TO GET A CALL ON A SUNDAY MORNING AND NOT HAVE A SINGLE NUMBER FOR MY BANK THAT WILL ANSWER TO VERIFY INFORMATION. NOT EVEN THE MC NUMBER WOULD HELP ME.
I AM CONSIDERING CLAY POTS TO KEEP MY MONEY IN UNDERGROUND. UNTIL THEN I HOPE SOMEONE I AM PAYING TO HANDLE MY CASH, HAS MY BACK...

Received a call this morning.  Called the 800 number back and questioned them.  They had found fraudulent activity on my account from the UK and were checking it out.  I knew they were ligit as they had all my information on my account.  They knew all current charges, and read them off to me to verify.

Re: (800) 622-1361
Received a call from a synthesized female voice last night at 643pm  that it was the (transaction verification department) calling on behalf of my bank and I needed to call them back at the above number to review transactions on my ?blank?. Did not say type of account in anyway, just an incomplete sentence and then their call back number.

The caller ID was ?Out of Area? and the VM (Frontier) said it was from ?0117? so I am suspicious and will be calling my bank ASAP.

If you get a call from this number,, ANSWER IT..., or CALL THEM BACK QUICK

My wife got this call, what it turned out to be is a company that monitors odd transactions with your debit card.

Well, my wife had 785.28 worth of deductions from her checking account that weren't from her.

All were out of the country purchases so it was very clear the problem existed.

we have to go to the bank on Tuesday (tomorrow they are closed for Columbus day)

We're told we'll get it all back.  Whew

Definitely not a scam. Verified with my credit union first. Like other posters have said, when you call them they ask for the phone number they left a message with and simply ask for your name. The lady I talked to was very polite and verified about 5 of my transactions. I assume my bank wanted to double check because I do not usually make 5 transactions in 2 days.

Yep, just called. NOT a scam. Only info they required was my name and phone #, they just confirmed a few transactions on my account which they already had.

They called me today and it was through my Credit Union verifying some recent activity on my account. The transactions on my account over a 24hr period had been in 4 different cities in different states. I was actually traveling...but thanks for looking out for me.

The caller ID said unknown name, unknown number.
The call was from the transaction review department of my bank to verify a purchase made with my debit card. They wanted to verify that it was indeed me who made the purchase and that it wasn't an identity theft problem.  I'm glad that they do check, especially at this time of the year, when identity theft is so frequent.
