6:45 pm 3/17/14 automated call states "we regret to inform you that your MasterCard account has been inactivated. Press 1 to contact customer service".  I hung up

Got same call on my cell, claiming "Mastercard has been locked. Press 1..."  I hung up, waste of time.  Any legit financial institution will not do a automated message in this manner.  They will call with live person and ask you to call in your card's customer service number.  Anyway, thanks all for the prior post.

same thing 512 area code

This number called me today. Looked it up and found this forum. I do not answer numbers I don't know. So I looked it up, which I do with all numbers I don't know. It's always a good practice.

We regret to inform you that your  Bank of America Debit Card has been locked

Yep, same thing here.
I entered some random numbers to keep 'em busy for a while.
Wish I could have gotten a live person so I could have seen how long I could keep them on the phone!

old timah

Just got call. Automated message said it was Bank if America, card deactivated, told me to press "1". I didn't and call ended.

I got a call on my cell phone saying that my Bank of America credit card had been locked & to press "1".  I have, but don't use, a B of A card so I hung up.  Then I remembered that my husband uses a B of A card.

When I tried dialing the phone # that showed up on my cell phone, all I got was that that # was no longer in service!

Note:  We were traveling last weekend & I wonder if someone at our destination picked up the B of A account # when my husband used his card several times in very busy, vulnerable locations. So I called the # on the back of my B of A card & spoke with a customer service agent.  She told me that there were no locks or other notes on the account.

Same thing - told me that my debit master card was locked - I have VISA so I knew right then and there that this was a scam.  Did not even press 1

I received the same on my personal cell phone 832 area code phone number.   "We regret to inform you that your master card has been locked. Please press 1 to be transferred.." hung up, call the bank. Bank verified it wasn't them. SCAM.

They called me at 357 am .

No message left.  They should be put behind bars.

My husband received a call from this number at 2am ET claiming that they were calling from Bank of America security department.  He doesn't have a card with them, but I do.  Luckily, he hung up the phone.  

I got a call recording my bank debit card had been lost and to press 1 to contact security. it starled me and I started to press 1 but I am not sure if I did or not because then I hung up and called my husband.

Got a call this morning at 5:27am stating that my teacher ID has been stolen or used illegally.  I was to call "security" by dialing 1.  I hung up.  Nobody at the school offices that early in the morning.  My ID card does not have any numbers or bar code, just my picture.  How stupid!

I received a call from 888-247-0216 yesterday.  It is one of those automated recording saying that she is calling from Bank of America and that my mastercard has been locked.  I immediately hung up because I know that it is a scum, how can they lock my mastercard when I don't have an acct with BofA.

Just got it, 10:45am 3/21/2014 purporting to be from my Credit Union, same message... MasterCard locked, hit 1 for Security.  I hit one, but when the automated call direction continued I hung up. I will contact my CU directly.

I got this call too 5 minutes ago. I hung up because I knew this was fake. Since when do credit cards call to tell you, you lost your card?

213 area code.

Same here.  Called and stated that my bank debit card had been deactivated and to press 1 for assistance.  Hung up immediately.  Contacted my bank and everything was fine.  This is a SCAM!

Just got a call from number not sure the first part but mentioned bank of america. asked to press 4 to connect to security services. called back and recieved busy tone

I received this call 9:38 PM! Same sh**.
