800-572-2659

I received a call from this number (1-800-572-2659), claiming to be with US Bank, saying I needed to call (Mohammed Ahmed) this number back with extension 1543823 and give him my driver's license, plus address and recent bill information. I called US Bank, and this is a SCAM! DO NOT give this person your information!

08/05/16 -My daughter got a call from this number 800 572 - 2659 - on her unlisted cell number. The message sounded professional thanking me for opening up an account at U.S. Bank and that they would take a $25.00 withdrawal from my Wells Fargo Bank account -- then my U.S. Bank account would be set up in 3-4 business days AND that my 'checks' would be delivered in 14 days. The female callers name was unintelligible - she gave her extension of '1542902' and bank hours of "M-F 8AM -4PM Central Standard time".THIS IS TOTAL ID THEFT.  I HAVE LIFELOCK & WAS ALERTED 08/04/1/6 THAT ID THEFT WAS USED AT U.S. BANK.  I checked the phone number on google and found out on this site that it is indeed ID Theft.  What now worries me is that  my AT&T account may be hacked as I have never used my daughter's unlisted cell number for anything.

I received a call too from this number and also an email from dionne vandyke.   I am filing a police report.  I have already frozen my accounts with all 3 credit bureaus.

My caller ID showed that the number came from 800-872-2657 (official US Bank customer service), but a message was left instructing me to call 800-572-2659 (similar to the number above, but it doesn't appear to be associated with US Bank). I don't have a US Bank account, and so I called the official US Bank customer service and I asked them if there was an account under my name with US Bank (perhaps via ID theft). They said no, I don't have an account with them. Clearly, the person who called me was claiming to be US Bank and trying to scam me.

That is a legitimate phone number.  I just spoke to U.S. Bank fraud department and they verified the name and number of the person that called me.

Right. Sure. You know who called you but came to a phone number look-up site anyway? You've also apparently never heard of phone number spoofing. Just because a phone number belongs to a certain company doesn't mean all calls from that number are from that company.

Yet the other people say it was scammers who called them. Telling about YOUR legit call doesn't give them any comfort, nor will it be comforting to the future scam call victims who come to see who called them.

Keep in mind, just because a number MIGHT be legit, doesn't mean the caller is!

Scammers spoof legitimate numbers to trick people into a false sense of security to answer their calls and attempt to get money or personal information from you.
This is why no one will encourage others to report of legitimate numbers, as they only confuse people into believing it is a legit call when a scammer has called them and they come here to find out about the call.

People who get legitimate calls would know its legitimate and have no reason to come looking up the number.
800notes is about exposing scammers, shady businesses and harassing type calls from debt collections, surveys, political and telemarketers or anyone who scams, lies or cons people.
People come to share those experiences to help each other understand who is bothering them and share what information they can to help point a finger at those criminals. The data is useful in knowing the frequency of the calls and even allow someone enough info to research towards getting a company's background history towards legal action.

The idea is to stop criminal callers, but posting about legitimate calls will not help anyone stop them. Sure people want to know who called and it could have been a legitimate call, but it only takes one post with confirmation of who the legitimate owner is to establish if its a call you can decide was legitimate for you. The fact that scammers can spoof ANY number is enough to say that even legitimate numbers have scammers who call pretending to be legitimate, so you just don't really know who is calling.

Shills will come here to post about the number being "legit" and try convincing people to answer the call so they can scam you.  So why help the criminals by posting about your call being legitimate? It has no impact on a legitimate business, only the shady ones and thats what we want to expose. Your legitimate post will only add confusion for others who read posts by those who shill about using the numbers they spoof.

They are legit. I just called and they verified the Muhommad fellow in their directory...The number legit.

Definetely a scam. I recieved a fishy email after i tried to open a savings account online, when you call the # in the email they say this is us bank we cant answer the phone right now so please leave a message with your social security #... definetley not legit. i called us bank and am worried about the hacking of my online application which contained alot of sensetive information.

Possible Shill Post in a thread FULL of Shills.
What did US Bank want to talk to you about? A vague "it's legit" is not reassuring.

Even if the number is legit, the caller might not be. With the ever increasing amount of scammers spoofing numbers of legitimate companies and organizations these days, you should be terrified of any unexpected call asking for personal information.
Now-a-days, you have to call an official number to verify who called to make sure its really them and not a scammer.

Scam! Do not respond! This is not US Bank. Total scam.
