800-278-8830

I just received a voice message from this number, said they are ***(I never heard it before) fraud department.

I received a call from them as well.  Not sure if they serve other companies, but they run the Fraud Prevention Department for Continental Airlines.

I applied for a Continental Airlines' credit card, and accidentally used an invalid address.  This prompted a call from 800 number above.

my situation is: disney card application thru chase bank fraud prevention number.
sounds like third party fraud protection agency protecting your identity.

same thing as above, call from Chase fraud protection agency regarding BP credit card I applied for . . ty for info

I received a call from this number and they said they were with AARP

I just got a call from the same number - Chase Bank fraud prevention, working for Southwest Airlines. I had signed up for a SWA credit card and they said they were confirming the information.

I'm encouraged that noone on this site has a report of wrong-doing! It's such a fraudulent time right now. It's good to confirm that people calling you and asking for personal information are on the up-and-up!

This is the weirdest call.     I received  a call from this number and called back with my reference number.  I was asked a series of questions where it seemed obvious that they KNEW the answers already to things which are generally public knowledge, but would be tedious for 1 NON-BANK/CREDIT CARD COMPANY/CREDIT BUREAU to compile.  For example, multiple previous addresses where I lived, but never owned or was a renter (lived with a friend, CC bills went there), mother's birthday, employer (they gave me these as multiple choice or half-answer questions where I answered the other half or the correct multiple choice wtf?).    Basically they told me that someone had applied for a CC in my name.  He did ask for my social and DOB which I did not provide.  He left off telling me to change my passwords online and inform the credit bureaus of this situation.  So weird.  If this is NOT legit, these guys are good????

PS Said they worked for Chase.  PPS I have many Chase CC's... but did not apply for one recently.

Overall, it sounds legit.  3rd party fraud prevention.

I called back through Chase's main line 1-800-686-5657 and was transferred to their applications fruad dept. to confirm that this was legit. The rep was able to look up the reference number and tell me that it was for a Disney card.  Someone had fraudulently applied for a credit card in a name that resembled my name.  I am glad they caught it.

got the same call but they said from TJX fraud protection company not sure I want to call back!! :(  the message sounds a bit suspicious!!  I read the comments above but im still skeptical, i applied for a tj max card recently not sure if that in reference to this but im not gonna find out, too much identity issues going on. they'll eventually write me a letter if its official!! :(

I received a similiar call today on my cell phone where they were called about 7-11 Fraud protection line about information they are asking me to confirm with them. I did recently apply for a 7-11 credit card But I'm not sure what they are looking to verify information for. Im not to sure i'm going to call them back becuase they may in fact be steeling information from me.

Mine is a bit different. They sent me a letter in the mail saying they had previously tried getting in touch with me (I do not answer the phone if it looks like someone trying to sell something or whatever). I did not get any messages on my answering machine. I had my identity stolen a few years ago and do not want to go throught that again! I did more to look up the crooks than the police do - that is what one policeman told me. Anyway, I will be calling Chase Bank at a number I know is legit then I will come back to let ya know.

Received the call today, from 847-488-6000 with a request to call back the 800-278-8830.  It was with United Fraud Services and they wanted to verify that I had in fact submitted a request for a United Airlines credit card.  I had.  Everything seemed legit.  They asked for my name and confirmation of my mailing address and prior mailing address and recent employer.

I got called by this # and called back and gave my ref number - then the woman asked for my name and I said "wait a minute - you're with fraud prevention for who."  She seemed taken aback and then said they work for a lot of different companies.  I told her I wasn't comfortable giving info when they wouldn't even tell me who they were.  She said a letter would be coming and I could wait for that if I preferred.  If this is legit, it's because I have identity theft protection and I recently applied for a credit card from Countrywide that pays off your mortgage as you use the card.

I also received a call from a David (left on the answering machine) at fraud prevention, to call him at 1 800 278 8830. He ID himself as with Amazon.Com Visa card. I had applied for the card via Amazon. I never had a call like this before so immediately thought fraud. I will call them back Mon. as the caller said the hours were M-F 7a to 7p.
No time zone indicated. I will not give out any crucial info. The Visa card isn't worth getting scammed!!! I also will wait for a letter in the mail to see what's up.

Amazon.com credit card fraud prevention. From everything I could gather they seem legit.

Yes. This number is true and from a ID prevention service center. I got this call because I used a different address on my recent CC application. They just wanted to verify me by checking my several old home addresses and home phone number, and my business number....

Received a call from 800-278-8830.  I was not home and the message was left on my answering machine.  They said it was from Amazon and also gave me a reference number to reference when I called back.  I called that number and it was the Fire Department

Fraud prevention department from Amazon.com verifying info???
