Got a call from 1-855 number

Been using my card how ever and I get a call, hung up, they left a voice message:

"This is the <my banks name> broad service center at <phone number>. With an important message for Twiigss. We need to verify some recent activity on your bank card ending in <numbers>. Please ensure you have your case number 12345678, and that I can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

I have a relative who used to work at that bank and they said that's not a thing, and is a scam, I would have gotten an email immediately, but I have no email, and no bank alert on the mobile app.

It just sounds soooo legit when they say your banks name like that, but I've never heard of broad service center and my relative said that bank company doesn't have a broad service center.

I hate scammers! 😡😡😡 You did the right thing. Always check with your bank directly. Never call the number they give you.

@Musicman well, since today is Sunday I'm not able to get a hold of my bank, but I do use their mobile app. Typically when there is an issue I get an email and I get notification through the mobile app.

I've looked multiple times today now, no email no notification in the mobile app.

@twiigss At my bank the fraud department is open 24/7. You did the right thing though. There is a movie called the Bee Keeper that deals specifically with this. I definitely recommend watching it.

@Musicman Jason was an non stop very angry killing machine in that one. Even more so then some of his other movies. But if he's in it you know someone is going down.

@Gibbon I love how the government was protecting junior. 😡😡😡 Reminded me of Hunter.

@Musicman Oh I never thought of that parallel in the movie. That's pretty damn funny Lol.
