they include their actual number, i did look it up but probably won’t take action because i don’t want to be involved in this shit[DOUBLEPOST=1550373860][/DOUBLEPOST]
have you got any letter or anything in real life or just all over calls and text? and how long have you been getting it for
Hell, your identity might be stolen then, and someone's using cards in your name
fair enough yeah, but i don’t know how they got my number. i mean my bank is with the nationwide banks (halifax), but the last 4 digits of the card number has nothing to do with my cards at all[DOUBLEPOST=1550374017][/DOUBLEPOST]Hell, your identity might be stolen then, and someone's using cards in your name
That might sound exaggerated, but seriously not uncommon. If it's their actual phone number, I'd definitely call them up and see if you can get an explanation. Better safe than sorry man.
sales rep alert lmao, thanks though
"More seriously, the information may then be used in truly fraudulent activities, such as opening a credit card account in the victim's name, and then charging purchases to that account, or the entering into a loan agreement in the victim's name."
and your friend found out that fraud was taken place under his name, like loans being taken out and accounts being opened?[DOUBLEPOST=1550374301][/DOUBLEPOST]
so far, i’ve only received one text today around 20mins ago
A credit card was opened under his name and 800$ was charged on it. He found out when he got a call from his bank saying he owes them money.[DOUBLEPOST=1550374363][/DOUBLEPOST]
But, since we were at basic training it is impossible to open a credit card, or even buy something that is 800$. And that is when he told them it was not him and to close the account. They ended up waiving the fees due to his military background and how it happened. But, not something to mess around with.
alright, thanks for the information. i’ll continue to wait for a call or an escalation to the “claim” from nationwide. if anything happens with it i’ll report here on this thread[DOUBLEPOST=1550374453][/DOUBLEPOST]so far, it’s only 65.00GBP
The best thing you could do is simply call nationwide, and ask then directly if you owe them money. You won't get a text from nationwide regarding this. Especially not on a Saturday night.
yeah that’s what i was thinking. it’s 3:35AM here and most definitely the same for nationwide, since they’re mainly a uk company. it’s sunday here, and i doubt they open until monday around 9am
They are all over the US, but they are closed on weekends where I live. At least their offices are closed which are the people who would contact you. And, I highly doubt any of them want to contact you for 65$ on a Saturday night (Sunday morning).
