6123075000

oct. 22,2014     Two calls on cell phone -didn't answer as didn't recognize number. Left same voice message, hard to understand. Identiffied as Target and 612 is Mpls. Mn  area code. They said they needed more info re credit card etc.
I have contacts within Target and got to their Fraud Div. No such number within Target.   Obviously not legit. BEWARE?

Target calling to say they're sending a new Visa card with improved chip security. They just wanted to confirm my current address as an extra security measure. Legit.

This is Target. Could be card services, or could be FMOC who handles alarms, etc. If you get a call after 10 or 11pm and they ask for someone else then it is probably just them trying to reach a manager to handle an alarm reset or refrigeration code.

Got a call 3 times in quick succession, no message. Called number back and it went to target guest relations who say they have no record of anyone trying to contact my number. Called card services and they say the same thing. I would be warry.

Got a security notification that my Target password may have been exposed during a leak. Tried to change it on their website but it didn’t work. Called the number it gave to speak to a customer service rep. The person that answered had a strong Indian accent so I immediately hung up. I’m not trying to stereotype anyone, in fact all but one of my coworkers are Indian and they are very dear to me, but I’ve been the target of several scam attempts and the one thing they all have in common is that accent. Given the ridiculous amount of scammers operating these days I’m not taking any chances.
