Automated - says it's regarding the activation of my Old Navy Credit Card - I DON'T HAVE an Old Navy Card!

Purportedly Banana Republic to tell me to activate a credit card they sent.  I don't recall receiving one recently, but I'll double-check.  The recorded message refers to another number (866) 460-4458.

this number called me too i dont have an old navy card much less the old navy visa.  When i called the 800 number it refers, i get a lady and heard a dog barking in the back ground she asks your last 4 of you social, dob, and then your name! if your calling me to activate a card shouldnt you have all that information? Beware!

I smell a scam. Got an automated voice saying to activiate a banana republic credit card that I don't have!

Well it asked to activate an old navy visa card. Problem is i haven't gotten mine yet. I'll wait for my card to arrive to do anything.

it is old navy credit card services for card activation

A robocall to activate some piece of crap credit card I never applied to receive.  It is obviously a scam and the operator should be shut down.

I called it back today, and an automated voice said it wass to acitvate a GE credit card... that I also did npt order...

I don't know who this is.

Got a call from this number tonight... same thing, wanted me to verify my new Banana Republic Visa card (that I didn't apply for) but I listened to the whole message and there was two numbers given... 866-450-4458 to activate a card, and 866-450-2330 to report if you did not request a new card.

I did some research and 866-450-2330 is a valid GE Money USA Credit Card customer service number for Banana Republic VISA cards, I called it and report the call and they too asked for my SSN but I wouldn't give it to them and they looked up by phone number I recieved the call on, the name did not match so they logged a Do Not Call on my number.

Got an automated call from this number today asking me to activate my Banana Republic Visa Card. I've never applied for a card with Banana Republic, ever. I also sent an inquiry email to Banana Republic's customer service department, to an address I found on the company's website. The whole call smells of fraud and identity theft, especially now that we're headed into the peak holiday season. I think I'll also lodge a complaint with the FTC and BBB, at the very least, either of them can find out who the owner of the 847# is.

Yea, I also applied for a GAP card and got a call a couple of days after receiving and not activating it. I think it is a legit number, but if you haven't applied for a card you may be in trouble already anyway :P

They also would verify the last 4 of your social, dob and full name if you activate a card, they have to verify somehow that you are actually the right person calling.

I got a call from this number tonight. The machine picked up, and the message left was to call back the 866 number to activate a Walmart Discover card. I called to make sure there was not a card recently opened in my name and when I said this to the lady, she only asked for my phone number and name. I told her the phone number, and my name and she asked what my spouses name was. I told her and she said the card was opened in his name. However, my husband never opened an account with walmart.  So - I told her this and she said something about doing a three way conference call - I told her I would talk to my husband.  After reading these posts I am thinking it was a scam. I know not to give any other information, so I won't even call them back. I hate scammers!!!

Just received a call from this number and I immediatly looked it up here.  I called it back and it was an automated message saying I needed to activate my GE card.  What's that suppose to be?!?  Then the message apologized if they had called me in error!?!  I think it's a scam number...I mean shouldn't they know who they are calling before hand?!

got a call this evening from that number.  Odd thing is, I did recently apply for a banana republic card and just got it in the mail a couple of days ago.  The activation phone number that was included with the card is 866-450-4458.  So, I'm pretty convinced that it's a legit number, though if you haven't applied for a banana republic/gap card, it looks like someone may have already stolen your identity - worth looking into

Sorry to spam; in doing a little research I found this number: 866-450-4458 seems to be the call-back number they give for you to call in so you can provide them with everything they need to steal your identity.  (Sorry for the double post).

Got a call from this number today with an automated message claiming to be for the activation of "my new Bananna Republic VISA card!"; which I of course never applied to.  All I'd have to do is call this lovely 866 number to activate it.  Since it smacked of a scam; I hung up and did not call the number (I've gotten e-mails from rich African princes that sounded more legit that this did).

However, in looking this up, I've read other people's accounts of these scammers calling 4-5 times a day until you call them back.  I don't know what options are open to combat this kind of harassment, but hopefully I can think of some.

I smell a scam. Got an automated call saying about activation for a banana republic card that I never applied for.

i got a call from this number asking me to activate my gap visa card.  I dont have a gap card much less a gap visa.  When i returned the 866# given to me a lady answered and i heard dogs barking in the background.  She asked questions such as last four of you social, dob and then my name.  How do you not have that info if your calling me.  I hung up at that time. Beware!!

i don't know the number but it's a suburb - evanston - outside of chicago.

got a call from this number yesterday. Do not know anyone who lives in 847 area code.
