8775068752

got a call from this number: 877-506-8182
but they said they were SDG&E - San Diego Gas & Electric
they said if answer questions, then can get 30% off bill
press one for yes to confirm they were calling the right person
but then hung up because didn't want to answer their survey questions.
could be real, but it seemed like a telephone phishing expedition to me.
i figure if it was REAL, then then would send the info to me in the mail.

I received a call from this number after placing a few orders online today. I do bank through the UW credit union. The third time they called I answered. They really didn't ask for any confidential information, only date of birth and confirming the last 4 digits of your card number if I remember correctly. All the charges were correct so I confirmed them. I think if it were a scam they would be asking for my full credit card or my social security number.

They ask me for a UW Credit card number, Ido not do any business with UW Credit Union. This company is a fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Hawk

YES, 877-506-8182 is San Diego Gas and Electric's C.A.R.E. (California Alternate Rates for Energy) energy assistance program qualification verification hotline.   If you have been participating in the program, you will eventually recieve a call from them via this number asking you to verify your current household head count and income status.  If you do not respond, it is assumed you no longer qualify or no longer wish to participate.  Make the call!

This number is the real deal!  I got a call this morning on my way to work and ignored it. But, I received a different telemarketing call a few minutes ago and figured that I should put this number in as well. When I found this forum and figured that I should give them call them back and I'm very glad that I did!! Turns out that some random [***] cable company tried to put a charge through for $900.00 yesterday & had I not called to confirm that I did not authorize this, it probably would have went through and caused all sorts of problems. I called UW Credit Union directly and they said that the card had already been cancelled by their Fraud Detection Department AND, since UW Credit Union does same day replacements, I can pay them a visit on my lunch break - Good as new!
This is not a scam. If you are unsure, call the number and find out what charges they are referring to. If something seems strange, you can always call your bank to report the fraudulent charges yourself.

NEVER, NEVER Enter identifiers!  That's how you fall to ID Theft!

Received a call from this number... Don't know why.  BUT..If it's a credit union, it's FRAUD....We don't have an account with them.  

Tell them to F*** Off!

The Last 4 digits are ALL THEY NEED to complete a card number.  ALWAYS call to verify... Be sure to use the number on the back of your card, if you have one.  If they ask for a 3 digit identifier, you got problems!  NEVER give that out.

Just called the UW credit union, number listed on their home page.  They verified WHAT I FIGURED.  This is a SCAM.  The man (ALLEN) told me that the number 877-506-8752 is NOT one of their numbers.

I must state, FIRMLY...If they claim to be with a "FRAUD UNIT"....Call the number on your card, verify.  They don't call YOU.  YOU call them!

Don't be fools.  CHECK IT OUT Before you give information.  That means you call them.  Don't take their number and call it back; that is a recipe for disaster!

this number IS LEGIT.

I call UW-Credit Union from the number on the back of my VISA Debit Card and told them the message I received. They said that number was correct, and was their dedicated number for Visa fraud services.

I called the number was presented with an automated system that asked for my debit card number. I declined that and was offer the opportunity to speak to a human by pressing ZERO.

I was transferred to a woman in India (you could tell) and she NEVER ASKED MY CARD NUMBER. She asked me my Name, Zip Code and Date of Birth. And then TOLD ME the last 4 numbers on my card.

She asked about a charge at a CITGO gas station that I had made the night before at 1:30AM. I was running on empty, and gas is $3.88/gallon, so it came out to $46.xx, which is more than I usually spend.

Also, I had stopped and tried to run my Debit Card at a different SUPER AMERICA gas station, just down the street, minutes earlier, but it seems like they turned off their pumps because mine read, "VERIFICATION NOT ACTIVATED".

I asked the Indian Lady what Flagged my transaction as suspicious. She said it is a variety of factors that she didn't exactly know, but mentioned that it could be the location of the gas station, if I had used that station before (I rarely do), the time of night I used it, or maybe because I had just (tried to) run my card at a gas station down the street.

By all means, call UW-Credit to confirm with them, but the people on this number didn't ask me for my card's information (although the automated system did).

An extra note, I checked my checking account when I got the first message, and I did notice, "How come my $46 gas charge from last night hasn't posted yet?" So that shows that VISA was indeed putting a HOLD on the charge until they heard from me. THANKS VISA and UW-Credit Union! :)

Maybe Allen thought you were asking, "Is this a phone number to the UW-Credit Union?" And he said, "No," because it's NOT.
It IS the number to the VISA Fraud Prevention Services group dedicated to working with UWCU customers. Other banks and credit unions will have different phone numbers to their reps at VISA Fraud Prevention.

Not a scam, don't believe UWCU would tell you that unless you weren't clear on the number that called you or the person you talked to was flat out wrong.

Received a call from this number, it was UW Credit Union fraud prevention.   The call was legitimate.   They wanted to confirm whether an online purchase was authorized by me or not.

I received called today at 117 pm and this phone number is for San Diego Gas & Electric re the CARE program I'm enrolled in. Brief phone survey to renew qualifications. If you redial 1-877-506-8182, it will say so.

Just find this number on the webpage of UW Card. It is under the page of 'Profile & Services'.

Caller ID# 877-506-8752; This is a legitimate number.  Falcon 24/7 Fraud Monitoring: Transactions that occur on your xxx Visa are monitored by Falcon, a fraud monitoring service, free of charge. Falcon assesses a risk score for each transaction you make by comparing your purchasing patterns to trends of check and credit card fraud. If a transaction scores high in risk, it will be denied and a Falcon representative will contact you. Although Falcon provides protection against potential fraud, it is important that you also continue to monitor your transactions.
If you have any doubts, call the number on the back of your Visa and talk with them first before calling this 877 back.

I just got a call saying it was from the UW credit union. I think it's a scam.

Update: I called UW Credit Union directly. They confirmed that his was legitimate fraud prevention. I called the number and confirmed a recent purchase.

Assuming the caller ID was not spoofed, this call is LEGIT. This company performs fraud prevention services for UWCU and other companies. They provide you with a generic reference number on their voice mail. You call back, provide the reference number, verify your name (not any sensitive information) and they read the details of a recent questionable transaction. You tell them if it was really you or not. If so, they say "have a nice day" and you're done. If it was NOT you, they offer to freeze that account and then you need to contact your financial institution to make a fraud claim and to get a new card and such. They may have to verify your phone number if you call back from a number not associated to the account in question, but they will not ask you for your whole account number or your SSN or your mother's maiden name or whatever. They tell YOU the secret details, not the other way around. If they DO start asking for secrets, they MIGHT be a scammer spoofing this legit number.

Not a Fraud Call. I often buy from other countries and UWCU always calls to make sure it’s valid. I’ve called UWCU before responding to the fraud prevention and they’ve verified it and the number. If you don’t respond, your card gets frozen. Either go into a store or complete the call.
