818-301-1298

Got a call from them and the recorded voice was claiming to be direct express (http://www.usdirectexpress.com/edcfdtclient/index.html) They said my master card needed to be updated for security reasons.  I've never used or interacted with the company, and they called me on two different lines of mine.  It was all automated.

Didnt recognize the caller's number, so let it go in to voice mail. Msg said my mastercard needs to be updated for security reasons and to please 'press 1' Did not mention either of the two companies I have MC with, who would normally use a secure website for those purposes. So most likely a scam and have so advised my wife and son

same stuff.
some really bad scam that doesn't even work yet. I pressed 1 to see what would happen and it didn't work or transfer to an operator.
all calls from this number should be reported to the ftc.

Yeah gotta a call & its a scam

I got the same message
"This is an official notification from Direct Express to inform you that your mastercard needs to be updated for security reasons"
Then tells me to press 1 to begin the process.
Funny thing is:  I don't have a mastercard.

Got the same call - I don't have a MC.  Screams SCAM to me.

I received the same recorded message. My bank would call me direct if they needed any info. I did not press 1 and hung up. This number is not identified thru any reverse ph numbers search.

Left voicemail: "For security reasons, please press one to download now"  I just deleted.

called me twice on 5-30-12
let it go to vm both times

Yep.  Just got the call, and I don't have a mastercard either.

Just received the call on my work mobile.  Answered it, since I never know who might be calling from which office.  I don't even have a mastercard, and have never heard of direct express.

I recievd an automated call from this number stating my Mastercard had been compromised. Press 1 to validate and  2 to Terminate. I tired to press zero and nothing happened. Then it asked for my 16 didgit mastercard number. I hung up. I recieved the call on my cell phone.  818-301-1298

I just recieved the same call, and it went to voicemail. It said to press 1 to update your mastercard. Please be careful with this scam.

scam all day long

If you answer you may get a large phone charge on your next bill.  Be vigilent.

I didn't answer, let the call go to voicemail. In the voicemail the pre-recorded message identified themselves as 'Direct Express' and the Mastercard scam line described by others above.

I just got the same call. Direct Express and an update to my Master Card. Sounds like a scam.

It sounds like a scam to get your credit card information.

Got the call on my cell (only) phone. I looked up Direct Express, and it's a legitimate company that issues the MasterCard debit cards used by people who receive some federal benefits, including retirees. Definitely a scam if they're requesting account information; probably targeting the elderly in particular.

Received a call from "Direct Express" claiming my Mastercard had been compromised.  I promptly hung up.
